Life story

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER ONE OF YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS IN LIFE?

“My greatest achievement in life was meeting the girl of my dreams and starting a life with her. We met at the ripe age at fifteen. Married right out of high school. Life moved along as we worked hard and did everything together. After two years we started our family and bought our own house which we still live in today. As the Lord continued to bless every two years with an addition to the family we filled that house with love. Watching my children grow and achieve things that amazed me through the years from childhood through adulthood. Fills me with pride in each one of them. At this point in my life I’m retired and my children are all married and have started families of their own. I am still filled with pride in them and now my family has grown even more. I have eight beautiful grandchildren . Looking back through time and all these lives I have been a part of I’m so proud of what I have achieved. Thank the Lord !!!”

HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED?

I want to be remembered as a good Christian, husband, father and grandfather. A good friend to others. It has always been important to me to have set a good example to all I was in contact with.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO YOUR FUTURE GRANDCHILDREN?

To my grandchildren I would like them to know that they are greatly loved by me. That their parents were raised to be good parents and to love and respect them . Love and serve the Lord. He will always be with them.
