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.
