Sending my love and condolences to Calvin's children and his family. I thank God for allowing us to spend time with Calvin, the last time we visited. I will miss his cool laidback demeanor, his joking around, his laughter, and him saying "looka here, looka here." I thank Calvin for making my mother-in-law feel so loved, for all of these years. R.I.P. Calvin, you will truly be missed.

You all are a blessed family. A representation of what a Christian family is. Glad to know you all💝… From what I observed of Bro. Calvin he was smooth, kind, a gentle giant and friendly. He represented your family with class and was a fine example to the community in which he lived. You all should be proud to call him Son, brother, uncle, and all the other roles be carried with grace. GOOD JOB MAMA AND GIRLS 💝 Love you all and I’m glad to know you 😇
