He was a dear friend of my dad... they went to highschool together.

He was my pastor when I was a kid.

LOL. I remember as a kid, going to youth camp and avoiding him on Monday so I could get in the alter and get prayed up before going to see him! LOL. It seemed to us kids, that the man could look into your soul and see every sin!

he was a mentor and hero and a giant in my life.

I remember him and Bro. Murrell E. at camp.
