Mr. Roosevelt was a dear friend to my father, Mr. T... We will truly be missed! ~Tiffany

A gentle giant. On the outside he seemed rough and tough, but on the inside he would give you the shirt off his back if you truly needed it. A gifted mechanic, he has saved countless friends money for free repairs. He is one of the last of the "Bethel Homes" island party crowd. I and many others are still in shock & disbelief. But the LORD wanted to take him off the painfully highway of life and give the rest he deserved. Keep On Trucking to the other side. RIP
