Per a Find-A-Grave member:
E.J. was one of the most moral people I have ever known. He had only been married to Aunt Madelynne for two years when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He cared for her, mostly at home, till just before her death when she became bedridden.
E.J. Was also involved in a number of community activities including Habitat for Humanity and his church. He lived in Hendersonville, North Carolina for many years.
