In addition, he recited all the names of God. He was known for his unique voice messages – each reflecting his love of the Lord. (Last voice message: Hey this is Tink ,Sorry that I missed your call. Leave me your name, number, and a brief message and I will get back to you; and remember people, I was addicted to the Hokey Pokey…but with God’s help, I turned myself around. And so, can you. You have a blessed day.)
