Dad was an avid gardener and grower of all things! Upon retirement he took up wood working and made many rocking chairs and “football” tables. He had a desire to have a rocking chair with his “Suits Me” label on it in every state. Dad wanted to be friends with everyone and helped many people along the way. He was a great Husband and Dad who loved his kids and grandkids dearly. He was a faithful Christian for the majority of his life and attender of Antioch Baptist Church in Long Beach at the time of his passing but had been an active member of several local congregations throughout his life. Dad loved the Lord. Dad had many long-term friends, but always enjoyed making new ones. He loved his extended family, especially his cousins. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him, but it was surely a life well lived!
