He was almost happy being in his own little world. He was kind and a precious friend to those he met. He loved sitting and watching the garden grow and collect the vegetables as they came in and was proud of his little garden. He would water it every evening and would sit out by the garden listening to the radio. He loved listening to his music and watching wrestling on television. He was a very special person that would do anything he could for anyone.
A memorial service was held held at 12:00 p.m. October, 4, 2017 at the home where he resided at 340 Old Blackstock Rd, Spartanburg, SC 29301 with lunch following the service at the same location. Pastor Larry Padgett will be officiating and anyone that wants to speak after Pastor Larry is welcome.
A special thank you to Interim Hospice and Westville Funeral and Crematorium for all that you have done to help with this journey.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Rebecca Woody or Allen Helms.
