Dad loved his legos, was a blessed Christian Song writer, a people person, wonderful Pastor to everyone, and was on the John C. White of Providence Cemetery Committee. He would take spontaneous trips, attend family get togethers and spend precious time with his grandchildren that he loved so dearly. Dad was a hard worker and very generous in all he did with everyone. He loved riding his motorcycle, was the best “creek bank fisherman”, and the very best prankster and jokester. He still made calls on his favorite dinosaur cell phone and he had 2 special lil sidekicks named Nilchi and Shashe, his dogs.
