Memories of the man I called Dad - He served our country in World War II from 1944-1946 - After the war, he married and had a family, and served the Lord as a layman (SS teacher) at Central Baptist Church in Cowpens, then chosen to be pastor of Gospel Baptist Church in the early 1960's, and in 1965 he was led by God to form Cowpens Calvary Baptist Church. He even served a year or two on the Cowpens Elementary PTA. He loved God and his family and the USA. So proud to be called "Little Gene" , his son, by so many of his peers in Cowpens. Favorite memory would be going shopping a couple times a year all the way to Spartanburg. He would wear a suit and tie, and many businesses would give him a 10% discount because he was a preacher!
