"What an inspiring preacher he was! I feel so blessed I got to hear him and share his inspiring messages and videos he posted on Facebook. It?s a crushing loss for all of us but he?s happier than he?s ever been on earth, because he?s with his Creator! Condolences to Melinda and all his family and friends. Deborah Samples"
