Later it was found that the cancer had affected his brain. He was in the Los Angeles General Hospital for about three weeks. At this time there were many opportunities to talk to him about the Lord, and he made a profession of faith in Christ before he passed away on Sept. 5 at 7:54 a.m. His age was 53 years, 10 months and 21 days.
