As a young man he was commissioned to paint store windows at Christmas in his hometown of Philadelphia. He loved to draw at a very young age he painted a mural on his bedroom wall that amazed his family. Shorty was creative, fun loving; he was a man of many sayings and jokes clean and not so clean. He was the lead for an all-male group in Columbus, OH called the Enticers who opened for groups in the likes of The Chi-Lites, Temptations, Moments, Whisper’s, Four Tops and more when coming to Columbus at the Veterans Memorial and the Valley Dale.
