An avid outdoorsman, he was a member of the Raft Creek Mallard Club and an American Tree Farmer. In his later years, he especially enjoyed his morning coffee group at Knights Super Food Store. During his illness, he received many cards and prayers from members of his church, Mt. Carmel Baptist in Cabot.
The family wishes to thank his PCP, Dr. Joseph Shotts of Cabot, Dr. Mauricio Pineda-Roman and his caring staff at MIRT, UAMS, along with the nurses and technicians at the MIC, UAMS who were so kind and caring during his last two years of intensive treatments.
Memorials to Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, The Gideons International or MIRT at UAMS would be pleasing to the family, or a charity of your choice.
