During his lifetime, he was a member of Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church in St. George, SC. He loved communicating sometimes by joking and always cared for his family, friends and neighbors in a loveable fashion. CR was regarded in a manner of just being himself. He enjoyed billiard (pool), in which he was a champion at, playing cards, dancing and doing great deeds for the community and surrounding areas. As a team member of the Callaway Raiders (second baseman) home field in the Hudsontowm Community of St. George, SC, he was always one you could count on and consider himself the best of the Raiders.
