He was marvelous dancer and enjoyed dancing with his sisters, Vikki and Melody. They even made an appearance on the television show, Disco Tech and would spend many nights at Val-Air Ballroom. C.J. got a kick out of teaching his daughter, Cierra how to swing dance in the living room.

Miss me a little – but not for long And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me, but let me go.
For this journey that we all must take And each must go alone; It’s all a part of the Master’s plan A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.
