TOWNSEND—Calvin Lewis Davis went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, Aug. 29, 2018 at the Cadia Broadmeadow Nursing & Rehabilitation in Middletown. While at the Broadmeadow facility, preparing for his return to home from therapy on Aug. 30, 2018, he passed on with the "folks" that had become his "fast second family"!!! We all had a good cry, while exchanging many hugs with expressions of admiration of his strength and determination to get stronger to go home!! We are so blessed as well and so thankful to have gotten to become an extension of Pops new family.

He was given a special award for 32 years of dedicated service to St. Andrews Athletics in May 1984.
