Jug head will be missed. Nett through this difficult time, I pray that you find comfort with all of the memories that was shared with you and your brother. I'll miss seeing Jug head drive his truck and him telling me "I was alright until you got here", and you are not going to give me a shower. God bless the McLaughlin family.
