We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Calvin, he was always kind and took the time to speak with us whenever we ran into him no matter what was happening in his life. His positive, upbeat outlook was enviable and he will be missed. Our condolences to all of his family and friends. Rest in peace friend.

I had the privilege to grow up in the same neighborhood with Calvin and other family members! He was so much fun, full of humor and kindness. He was that person that you may not see for years but pick right back up where you left off when you did see him! My sincere condolences to the family and friends of dear Calvin! May your love and memories bring comfort in the days ahead!
