To the Boyd Family.

Calvin was our brother-in-law. We are so sorry for your loss. Calvin will always have a place in our hearts and will be missed dearly. We will cherish all of the good times. He was so funny, kind and sweet. One of his other favorite sayings was "This too shall pass". He never complained to us and was always upbeat. God bless you all. With love

I had the pleasure of working with Calvin years ago. Everytime a fellow worker would go through the warehouse, he always said 'you're doing a fine job, fine job'. He would always call me Cori 'G' and when somebody asked him why, he said 'cause she's the greatest'! He treated all his friends like that, he will be missed.

Oh my! Founders' Day won't be the same. Our hearts and prayers go out to the entire family. Calvin was a terrific example to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He will be sorely missed.
