He leaves to cherish precious memories: his beloved mother, Mrs. Allie Brown Singletary of Winston Salem, NC; two devoted brothers, Norman (Irene) Singletary of Florence, SC and James Allen Singletary (his fiancé Audrey) of Clemmons, NC; two sisters, Cyvonne Singletary of Lake City, SC and Margaret (Charles) Perkins of Florence, SC.; three nephews; six nieces and a host of other relatives and friends.
