I am shocked to hear this news. Even though we didn’t see each other very much I thought the world of Calvin. Calvin fought through the tough times of losing his dad and having to help with his family by picking cotton and any other jobs that came along. I looked up to him being the same spot growing up. Very proud how he over came life and did very well for his family. I will miss him Much love to his family. Randy Tribble
