I loved to see his smiling face when he came to 1 Accord on Wed mornings before Covid.He use to bring his Bible (children version) and let myself and a friend use it to compare to ours. then he would look at us with his childlike glowing his eyes and say what does it say! I'm so happy he finally got to go meet Jesus! He's doing the happy dance right now! God is good! Rest in peace my dear friend until I see you again!
