He leaves behind numerous Nieces & Nephews whom we all adore him dearly. He was so kind and loved us all.

He was a very poor man with many talents that richness was not his highest expectations, but he was Spiritual wealthy. He did not drive a fancy car, he did not wear fancy clothes, he was just a down to earth man. He lived exactly as God asks of us to be. He was incredible & very special to me. My Uncle was a very humble man always willing to lend a helping hand at whatever needed to be accomplished. He was an excellent cement layer.
