He died at home surrounded by the presence, love, prayers, and respect of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
"I have fought the good fight,
I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith. Now there is in
store for me the crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous Judge,
will award to me on that day-
and not only to me, but also to all
who have longed for his appearing."
2 Timothy 4:7-8
