He leaves to cherish his memories, his eldest nephew James Booker of Lincolnton, GA three spe cial nephews Leonard (Nettie J.)

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I Fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid?
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to enquire in the temple.
