He is survived by his first wife Barbara Leibrand mother of his children, Arthur, Jeffrey, Denise and Beth.

He dedicated time to children as a Sunday School teacher after spending some time in the seminary. As a Shriner’s member, Shriner’s Children’s Hospital was a long time charity that he cared for dearly. His love of music kept him active in various choirs throughout his life. His voice was his gift and he served the Lord well in the First Baptist Church choir and as a well loved and respected member. Singing two of his favorite songs solo “Stranger In Galilee” and “ My Tribute” was a joy he shared with friends, family and church family and will be cherished. He will be missed by us all. We are at peace knowing he is home. Family and friends are welcome to First Baptist Church 230E Maple Ave Wildwood NJ 08260 on Fridy 5/7/21 for viewing at 11:00am. Service to follow at noon.
