I never got to know my grandfather but thru the years I often heard what a kind, gentle, and caring person he was. He was a steelworker in his younger days then became an Ordained Pentecostal Minister of 45 years. He founded the "6th and Brown church" in Portsmouth Ohio, it is still in use today. Many talked of his careing nature and how he would do anything for anyone in need. My mother spoke of him as a man of greatness, she loved him dearly and said he helped her out many times with us kids. He passed when I was less than 2 years of age, although I do not remember him, he got to see me before he passed.
