Recently, he was assisting the Thomas family with care giving duties for their mother, since he lived very close to the family home.

He was a gentle giant who had a way with children and was kind and patient, even with the littlest of them. He had a great since of humor and could make you laugh even in the toughest of times. He also could be quite the “talker,” often keeping his grandmother, the late Helen Carter and anyone else that would listen, engaged in random conversations. But, he also had a way of encouraging you with a hearty laugh, joke or a knowing look. He will be missed.
