He especially enjoys his role as preacher and teacher. He conducts a weekly Thursday night Bible Study along with Sunday worship services.
¨ He is an accomplished musician, with a guitar that seems more like his third arm than a musical instrument. If you can hum a few bars for him, he can play any song by ear. Besides knowing words and music of hundreds of hymns and choruses by heart, he writes gospel music. He recently recorded a CD of his original compositions.
He has great skills as a carpenter and builder. At present, on the rare occasion when he has a few extra minutes, he is building an upstairs addition to his home.
¨ Although he has many interests and skills, he has often been heard to say, ”I have always loved being a DAD!” He has four wonderful children: Lisa, Amy, Tim and Bethany. They have grown up into great adults with families of their own so far there are 10 grandchildren: Avery, Amanda, Colombo, Madison, Nathanael, Trevor, Alaina, Kaitlyn, Juliet, and Allison.
