A man who especially appreciated his heritage and sought to leave his children a legacy of love of family and God-given gift of music has transitioned from time into eternity. Although his day-to-day presence will be yearned for and missed, may good memories sustain his loved ones who are encouraged to remember that for those who die in Christ, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. In tender loving care, the family of the beloved Bartholomew Banks, II is bathed in the prayers of the members of the Jennings family and the Mays family.
