Calvin Henderson, Jr. age 71, died peacefully June 21, 2022, after spending the last years of his life battling dementia. Those who knew him really loved him.

He was born May 30, 1951, to the late Calvin and Gladys Henderson. He graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham where he was the starting point guard for the basketball team and shortstop for the baseball team.
