Calvin was a ray of sunshine in an often gloomy world. In my several years of working with him at P&G, I never saw in him in a bad mood. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Keivin Smith

I'm going to miss Calvin. He was a pleasure to work with. He's the only guy I know that no matter how bad the day was going he would come up to you with a big smile and call you big daddy. I'm also glad Calvin has moved on. He was truly a child of God. Calvin doesn't have to put up with the hussle and bussle, the high demand P&G puts on people, this mad country, or any other crazy thing this world has to offer. I kind of envy him. On the other hand, I pray all of Calvin's family and friends are comforted by our Lord during this times as we adjust. I'm glad the Lord gave me 15 years working with Calvin. It's been a blessing.

Calvin was a true friend. The kind you are lucky to have one of, in your lifetime. His smile was contagious and his personality allowed him to never meet a stranger. His faith was as big as his heart. He spoke of his family so often, and the love he had for them was obvious. I loved him like a little brother and had many fun times at P & G as well as outside work. I pray for all his family , friends and colleagues. Rest easy my dear friend, you will be missed by everyone who knew you. Chris Winfree
