He was also a faithful servant at Liberty Temple Church in Milwaukee, WI. Horace was elevated to serve as an Elder of the Church. God wasn’t done with the calling and work he had planned for Horace life: therefore, he elevated him and his wife as the overseers at Liberty Temple Church until God him home. Matthew 25:23 (NIV) Horace was a man that enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, watching sports, laughing, and listening to music while sitting under a shade tree. He was a man of no confusion and always kept a smile on his face. Horace was the go-to guy, he would let you talk and let you make your own decisions. In other words --- he always had an ear to listen and a smile to go with it. He was a man a few words and when he spoke, you listened. He was full of wisdom and was always grooming the younger ones. Whether it was showing them how to; cut grass, clean, cook on the grill, build things or taking care of the elderly and the young ones. He lived his life to be an example for others.
