He had an amazing ability to build and repair anything. His love for his garden and flowers was a gift he passed on to his children and grandchildren. His quiet, calm nature and funny wit made him a joy to be around.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Houston, Cliff, Hobert, and Buddy, and sisters, Carnell and Gladys.
