We called him Preacher Man! Preacher Man lived across the street from my younger sister Cherrell, and over the year he was been such a spiritual blessing in our lives. On different occasions Preacher Man provided wedding counseling to me and my older sister along with our husbands. The advice that he gave me I still follow today, and it was a blessing to receive his advice and prayers. Preacher man told it just like it was and when he spoke, you'd listen! Even when I moved out of state, he gave me his personal phone number for continuous counseling and prayer if needed. Preacher man was such an enjoyment to my little sister kids, he was always lifting our spirits when he was around. Preacher Man you will never be forgotten, please rest peacefully. Love Chamira/Mimi
