God was his life, the diocese of Charleston, his love.

He was a great man with simple wants, humble, kind, understanding.

Loved by his priests, religious and people.

Admired by his community for his friendliness, warmth and devotion.

A pioneer, always expanding his impoverished church.

Under all circumstances, a Bishop, always a real representative of a lovable Christ.
