One of the finest Christian men we have ever been blessed to know. There was always a smile and kind words. He was truly a “Gentle Giant”.

Such good memories of this great man and his service to us, our family and God,as we pastored the Moro UPC for ten years. He was truly a pastors friend and right hand man. He was greatly loved and will be missed. Our prayers and thoughts go out to Sis Alta and the family. I am sure he finally got to take that trip to “The Throne” that he sang about so many times.
