I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of JR. He was a good friend to my brother and I. He always took us home from school so we didn’t have to ride the bus. May he rest in peace. My deepest condolences.

Mike, I am so sorry to hear that you lost your brother. My deepest condolences.
Mike and Chris, this is a little late but JR’s passing brought back many memories of the time he spent at our house w/my son Bryan. He always was positive and had a story and loved teasing Bryan’s little brother. JR was always one of the “good guys” and dependable. I will never forget him coming to the house w/a little basket full of red sweetheart roses a couple of weeks after Bryan’s funeral. That made such an impression on me on what kind of guy he was. Now I’m sure they are swapping stories and laughing at some of the things that happened so many years ago along w/some of the others who left their earthly home way too soon.
