Such a nice man. He was always so helpful to us at Calvary Baptist Church. Any time we were there working, he would stop and offer his help. The last time he was at Midway, he was giving the Great’s money just for smiling at him! Loved listening to his stories and memories of yesteryears. I will miss him.
