He is survived by his wife of 72 years, Angeline; his three sons Keith, Kevin, and Wendell; his daughters, Vanessa and Nieda; two granddaughters; and two great grandchildren.
A native of New York who recently moved to Tampa, FL, he adored his grandson Marcus, and was always thrilled to hear about, and talk to him. He reveled in the company of others, and always pushed them to not just be good, but to excel at what they do.
The family wishes to thank Bay Care Services and Maria Stone of Blount & Curry Funeral Home.
A Memorial Service with military honors will be held on April 22, 2022 at Bay Pine National Cemetery St. Petersburg, FL.
