Junior was one of the “good guys”, often going out of his way to help others. I so appreciated the visits he made to Dad after Dad had a stroke. Junior had a way of cheering Dad up when he was having a bad day. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

One of the few left of the greatest generation is now gone. Jr’s generation worked hard, loved and took care of family, friends and things. He was no exception. As children and “shirt tail” relatives we spent many hours with him and his family. Our trips to Colorado in the old school bus hold especially fond memories for me. God bless Shirley, Bill, David, Christy and their kids and grandkids always but especially in the days to come.♥️
