On October 14th, 1935 God had a plan. He sent a newborn infant into this world on a journey home. During this journey he laid down in green pastures, he was led by still waters, he even walked through the valley of the shadow of DEATH. While on this journey on July 27th, 1957 a young man and a young woman stood before God and exchanged their vows to one another and it was a marriage made in Heaven because it stood the test of time. Now he is in a land where time has no end and a place where is Lord and Savior went to prepare for him centuries ago. His name may not be written in history books of this world but he will not soon be forgotten. Sadly on September 5, 2015 he crossed that final river and went home in the hands of the angels of God. Now he awaits his beloved wife and family as his life now belongs to the ages....
