I was an aide to Calvin in recent months at Mercy/The Oaks. Calvin has been the first resident I've ever helped that truly had a spot in my heart. This man has such a strong spirit, and he made my days brighter. I'd look forward to coming to work just to see him. He would sing, tell stories, make me laugh, and he was a pleasure to be around. I have greatly missed Cal, and I'll always remember him for the great man he is. My thoughts are with you all.
