He dedicated time to children as a Sunday School teacher after spending some time in the seminary. As a Shriner’s member, Shriner’s Children’s Hospital was a long time charity that he cared for dearly. His love of music kept him active in various choirs throughout his life. His voice was his gift and he served the Lord well in the First Baptist Church choir and as a well loved and respected member. Singing two of his favorite songs solo “Stranger In Galilee” and “ My Tribute” was a joy he shared with friends, family and church family and will be cherished. He will be missed by us all.
