Aaron possessed a quick and witty sense humor and he loved to laugh. He did a lot of jive talking, that kept everyone around him entertained. He loved spending time with family and friends as well as fishing, cooking, singing, dancing, playing the guitar, and taking care his lawn. In Aaron’s younger years, he sang and played the guitar in a gospel group, called the Sunrise Travelers. He was also a member of The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge #145. Aaron was a good father and loved his children and family dearly. He was the protector of his family. He would go out his way to do anything for his children and family.
