Uncle Bro lived majority of his adult life in New York and Connecticut with periodic residency in Winnsboro, SC.
Uncle Bro was the world's greatest uncle, he had so many nieces, nephews; grand nieces and nephews, plus great grand nieces and nephews. Truly too many to count, but he had a one-on-one personal relationship with them all. Uncle Bro was a sharp dresser. His passion was cars and music. He once told us he was at a bar in New York and wrote the lyrics to the famous song, "You Sexy Thing (I Believe in Miracles)" but got drunk and 3 college students took his notes, and that song was created after that!!
Uncle Bro loved fixing and building things. Uncle Bro leaves to cherish his memories his son, Trova McCullough and his extended family of Winnsboro, SC; brothers, Jeffrey V.
