a great leader whom we highly
respected, he ‘touched’ the
lives of many by encouraging
the start of a new edifice in
which we are now worshipping.
He paid the first SSO in the
building fund. He has many rel
atives who are members here
and friends. We will ever cher
ish his memory and extend to the

ects to where the LEA is be
