He was a minister of Jehovah's Witnesses for 57 years in several congregations. His skills and talents in food service coordination and cooking allowed him to be used at large conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses where he would cook for thousands in a timely and efficient manner. He was a common sight in the cook tents on the weekends when any congregation in the southwest would be building a new Kingdom Hall. The kind and empathetic care given him during his last year by Quality Continuum Hospice is gratefully acknowledged by his whole family. French Mortuary is taking care of the final arrangements. The Funeral will be held on March 4, 2006, 3 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, at 8904 Menaul NE, in Albuquerque.
