CJ had an infectious smile that could light up a room. Knew him for many years and he was always pleasant as well as very much a gentleman.
Rest easy in His arms.

To the Johnson Family:
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your love one. Calvin was a friend and also a
co-worker at Southern Bell/Bellsouth. We spent many enjoyable times at Bellsouth, mostly while on breaks and lunch times. In our younger years, we were active after work
playing softball and basketball, some times as teammates other times as opponents. We
also competed athletically against other corporations to raise money for various charities on behalf of Bellsouth. CJ was a joy to be around and we shared many laughs together.
Although, he is no longer with us physically, I know memories of him will remain to bring
smiles to our faces.

To Yaisa and the Johnson Family: I am deeply sorrowed to hear of CJ's passing. The sun is a bit dimmer and the world a bit sadder now. I will remember CJ as a very good friend and coworker. I dare say all who worked with him could attest to his being outspoken and direct while being both kind and respectful. in addition, I will always remember CJ to be one of my favorite swing dance partners. Yaisa, thank you for sharing.
I hope all of you will find comfort in your sorrow just knowing that there are others who sympathize and share in your loss. May God Bless you; may Heaven shine upon you and give you Peace.
