almost anything with an engine. There was only one car brand that had his heart. He was a Ford man and
throughout the years he owned, fixed and loved his Ford's. Years later, he relocated to Baltimore, Maryland

He was a longtime member of Parklane Baptist Church in Baltimore, MD. He was a kindhearted, gentle
man who loved his family and the Lord.
