I have so many wonderful memories of the adults playing 42, 84 or spades and all of us kids running around. The world has lost a wonderful and great man. My thoughts and prayers are with Betty and the rest of the family. Love, Mindy Jo

I just heard about the loss of sweet Uncle JR and it breaks my heart. He was and always be one of my favorites with his sweet soul and sly humor. I’m so very sorry for your loss Aunt Betty! My thoughts and prayers and love are with you and the family.
Will always remember JR as a kind, loving, and generous man. Always showed a sincere spirit of love to everyone that had the honor of knowing him. He showed his love in some of the simplest ways in life such as the planting of his gardens and holding his sweet wife’s hand. Will be thinking of you Betty and Janet. You were blessed with one of the best husbands and daddies. Never forgotten, always in our hearts!!
JR was such a kind man. I remember when he and Betty would come over and play games with my Grandparents. JR and Betty always looked out for their neighbors. He will be missed. Betty, now it’s time to let your neighbors look out for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Janet, and family. Love, Shelly
