FROM THE VERY BEGINING OF ME MEETING HIM, HE PRESENTED A TRUE MAN OF GOD. EVERYONE LOOKED UP TO HIM. WE ALL HAVE A LOT OF GOOD MEMORIES OF HIM, ESP THE WAY HE WOULD COME UP OUT OF THE DEACONS CORNER AND STRIKE UP A HYMN INSTANTLY AND THE SPIRIT WOULD JUST SWOOP DOWN ALL OVER THE CHURCH.HE WILL BE SORELY MISSED.
