He was a devote man of God with morals and was a strong Christian. He witnessed to many others and gave to those that were in need. He loved his family dearly and always pushed to keep family together. His daughter and others became great in the game of basketball as a result of his training techniques. He loved attending North High's basketball games, football games, and track meets. One of his favorite North High football players of all time was Calvin Strong.
