After his brother in law passed and then his own wife passed away. He started hanging around his sister in law. Taking her flowers and just sitting in her living room, not saying anything. Then he asked her to date him. First of all, yuck this woman was part of his family. And second, why would she want to date a man that acted like him. He claimed his only child was telling everyone that they were sleeping together. When the truth was Brandie was only saying that his sister in law had higher standards in a man than he had. This is why he stopped talking to everyone in his wife's family. He was embarrassed he got turned down. He refused to even wave in passing to members of his own family. What a joke he was.
AJAj Jackson7w agoBefore his wife passed from cancer he would let Sherry lay on the couch for hours on end and wouldn't take her to the hospital. One occasion right before she passed. He said he didn't want to call an ambulance per he COULDN'T AFFORD IT! He chose to basically carry her out to his truck and was ok with her slumped over in a waiting room and she couldn't even hold her head up. Yeah excellent values he held.
HOHarold Owens72w agoHarold was married for 42 years to his beloved wife Herry. He repeatedly made her a promise on her death bed he would always be there for his daughter. And he fulfilled this by never speaking to her again after Sherry passed. Also the house Sherry wanted to go to her was give to his brother. So yeah upstanding g Christians there.
