My most memories of my brother is when in came to my restaurant and played his guitar and sung with my other brothers, Wayne was an excellent writer and lover to draw and write poems. He started writing children books, but never had the money to pursue his dreams. Wayne was a loner , but he never left without saying I love you sis. He will be missed. R.I.P.
I remember my dad would always love to spend time with his family and I mean all of them. We would always go see everyone on his side play music eat go to auctions etc… He was a very giving man who gave till he had no more and would keep giving. He was here for me through my entire life and gave his all. Anytime I ever need him no matter the reason he was their. My dad has played a key roll in my life that has brought me up to be the man I am today. My dad is my hero! Revas Spencer
The children’s book my dad was writing was a dream and passion he had. He just wanted to teach children love and compassion. He loved to see people smile and would always give little trinkets out
