A TIME TO PLANT And A TIME TO PLUCK  That Which Is Planted On February 22, 1974, “Jr.” married Martha Craven and from this union, there was a family of four with a son, Marcus and a daughter, Eulishia. It was many years later that they decided to add to their family with Carlos, Tosha, Anthony, Justin, and Royal, thus completing their family. They also had a special extended family of Henry Fuchs, Melanie Mintzer, and children Samuel and Miriam.

rewards.
