Probably before any of group that gathered under the tree knew him,he was a part of our set on Avon,most all of us are now gone,it's amazing how time flies and how it always has ways of getting away from us,cherish your friendships while you still have an opportunity,time is short,before Chubby held down the tree Alvin Stone was there,thought both them JOKERS would be there forever...but the LORD has need of good souls in the Kingdom....may the LORD keep my good friend close..SMITTY.

Chubby was a good good man and a gentle soul. He worked with me for many many years and I considered him my friend and brother. Anytime Chubby was around he was going to make you laugh with his sneaky sense of humor... And out work you! He loved his family and all of his kids and grandchildren so much and talked about that often. He just had a great heart and a love for God and people. You will be missed my friend. Rest in peace till we meet again.
