Moses worked for me as a Security Guard on the weekends. He would always come and visit once in a while during the week when he needed something signed or to give me medical docs for work. It was always on a busy day. He would say where is Patti, I have to talk to Patti. So when he showed up I would rush a little because I was always busy. He would come into my office with the biggest smile on his face and all he would do was talk about Gladys and his family. He taught me how to slow down and how to listen and to also have patience. He will surely be missed. My prayers to the family. Your Dad was a really good man. One of his ex bosses Patti from the VPC.

Sing Sing was "always" a joy to work around! His uplifted spirit was contagious as well as his smile! Even when things weren't going his way, he still kept a pleasant disposition, even when he may have had to be firm! I admire the way he conducted his self and always felt like family when in his presence!
He truly was a Good Man and my condolences to all the family! I pray GOD will comfort you at this time, as only He can!

My dad was a good man. Very humorous, gentle, humble, and patient like Job. I truly miss you. Papa you made it home on the morning train. One of your favorite songs that you sung with Tim when you use to take me to TCC in Chesapeake & wait for me. You did this drove me to college & babysat my son . Sung your favorite song with him " I'm going home on the morning train". The evening train would be too late. Dad thank you for showing me how to love unconditionally & how a man true love should be for his wife and the children. I LOVE YOU "MORNING ALL ABOARD " MOSES PAPA SING SING SINGLETON is HOME CHOO CHOO
