Mr. Calvin Delano “Cal” Bennett, Jr, age 54, of Bristol, died Thursday morning (April 24, 2014) at Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, Georgia.
Mr. Bennett was born January 13, 1960 in Savannah, GA but had lived most of his life in Blackshear. He was a 1978 graduate of Blackshear High School and was retired as a superintendent for Rinker Materials based in West Palm Beach, FL.

He loved people, never meeting a stranger, and enjoyed reminiscing about old times. He enjoyed reading, painting, and was a Civil War enthusiast. He also loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren, who were the lights of his life.
