There’s not much left to say about a man who lived his life “on the go” because for the most part, he remained a mystery unless he just decided to pop up.  Even though, I don’t have much to remember, what unconditional gift he did give me beside life, is the one person that I can always count on to guide me with wisdom and love and that is my Uncle Calvin. He was and will always be my father’s number one fan and he will forever carry and share loving memories and pass them along as long as forever will allow.
