OBITUARY (on memorial)

• He was a very gifted man in quality woodwork, known to be an honest man who took pride in his work. He always kept his word, he would always be fair and just. He was slow to anger, and quick to forgive. He loved the Lord and tried to treat everybody fair. The family was very important to him. He loved every Grandparent, Aunts, Uncles, cousins and anyone else claiming to be family. He always provided for his wife and children. He is missed beyond measure.
