His greatest accomplishments though were those he brought to Christ, those he helped, those he gave chances to to be better and move forward. He had a Heart that was wise and compassionate, the only kind you find from someone who has spent their life following Christ Jesus. Walking the walk and getting closer to the Lord daily. What an example he has left us all.
