Minister Washington had many talents but his passion was Ministering.  He was a faithful and active member of Greater Emmanuel Baptist Church, where he taught Sunday School and enjoyed singing in the choir.  As a result of his generous spirit and pleasant personality, He was loved by many.  He was ardent about fishing, cooking his homemade pies and his grand kids.
