 The stories of courage and faithfulness are too many to mention for this man, who left a tiny town in the coal country of Kentucky in the early 1950’s to come to Cincinnati and work. He always worked at least two jobs but still made time for his family. He was a man of strong faith and served as a deacon, trustee, and music director for over fifty years. He enjoyed watching the Cincinnati Reds and sitting on the porch talking to neighbors. He was loved by all who knew him.
