Most of all he loved ministering to people and was always looking for an opportunity to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to win souls. He and his wife spent 20 years in music ministry and serving in different areas of ministry in numerous churches. He was a kind, loving and compassionate man who was always willing to lend a hand. He was a man of integrity and was loved by all who knew him. He was a very faithful and loving husband, father and grandfather. He was devoted to his family and most of all the God that he served. He will be greatly missed, always loved and we will forever hold him in our hearts and in our spirits until we are reunited again in heaven. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought the good fight I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
