Dear Sandy,
My condolences to you and your family. Growing up with Calvin at the horse shows has fond memories for me. What a kind soul he was. Always there with such a great and beautiful smile! He truly loved you and I know you had a great bond like no other. You were so lucky to have each other! My heart aches for you and your family. And I am so very sorry.

Sandy, I was so very sorry and saddened to hear about Calvin’s accident. I have so many wonderful memories of our times together at CinDar Farms and all the shows way back when!It seems like yesterday Calvin was giving me a “leg up” on my saddleseat mount “Schoolboy” and guiding me into the showring with some words of encouragement! He (and you!)is deeply embedded in my memories of growing up on the Morgan show circuit…Calvin was a school friend as well…I’ll never forget him. He was always generous and warmhearted. I know you will miss him terribly….Erin
p.s I’m sorry I missed his memorial service. I didn’t hear the news until the afternoon of the service. I would have loved to have had the chance to pay my respects.

Sandy, So sorry for your loss. I don’t know if you remember me, but Calvin and I where great childhood and teen friends. I just heard about his passing and I was truly saddened by the news. I haven’t seen Calvin since the mid 90′s, we talk about the old times at the shows. He will be truly missed. I will always think about the good times that we had together. Sorry that I missed the funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
