He was a grand human being, ask anyone who knew him and many of you did. Raised partially in a ghetto, in Asia, lived among Aboriginals in Australia. Studied Broadcasting out of High School. Dropped out of college twice. Learned trades, managed fast food restaurants. Self taught himself about computers and worked for several Hi Tech companies the last being Apple where he was employed throughout his illness. Had his own interview radio program on a local station. Was a photographer. SXSW being one of the events he shot, Had 2 sons and a granddaughter, and all this touches only the surface, and of course he was part of our community. Always one to lift the mood, be respectful and ask the next question. At his request, we will hold a Memorial Celebration of his life at the Wells Branch Community Center on Saturday, September 26. Thanks to everyone who have extended their condolences. We miss him deeply.</div><div></div></div><div style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px"><div><div style="margin-top:10px"><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153201825627476&set=a.10153157899872476.1073741841.674162475&type=1" rel="theater" style="color:rgb(59,89,152);text-decoration:none;display:block;width:487px" target="_blank"></a></div></div></div></div><div>
