Calvin Boyd, Jr., 70, went home to be with the Lord on May 11, 2008, which was also his 32nd anniversary of sobriety.
There will be a celebration of his life June 5, at the Java Club, 389 Cuyahoga St., Akron, Ohio 44310 from 3 to 6 p.m. For information call Doris at 330-835-9256. If Calvin could have the last word, it would be, "I love you and you can't do a damn thing about it."

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.
