Most importantly, he served as Pastor of Swan Avenue Baptist church for over thirty years until he became too ill. He enjoyed playing the guitar, loved to watch sports, he enjoyed spending time with his church family, his wife & children, he always made himself available to help anyone in need, and he loved sharing the gospel.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
