Always sharing advice and providing guidance about life. He was an active member of Jubilee Baptist Church and raised his children in the Christian faith instilling the importance of God and family in their daily lives. He enjoyed playing his guitar and singing specials at church as well as participating in casual pickin' and grinnin' sessions with family and friends.
