This is from his daughter Sandra. He was a good dad. He welcomed all kids into our home and treated them as his own. He was so loved and respected by so many people. I have heard that my dad had huge effect on their lives! It means so much to me. He introduced me to Jesus. He was a man of few words. I will miss him terribly! But I have much hope and joy that I will get to spend an eternity in paradise with my daddy. But most of all and most importantly with Jesus!

'' Buddy'' MAY THE ROAD
rise up to meet you,
May the wind be
always at your back,
May the sun shine
warm upon your face,
May the rains fall
soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May the Lord
Hold you in the palm of
His Hand.
Your Cousins, Sharion Trantham, Viviene Cumbie
I love you Daddy
