Buck, Me and Nan were so sorry to here about J.B's passing. We always looked forward to seeing him when we came to the camper. He always had a new joke for me when he came up. To us he was one great big teddy bear and we will always miss his laugh and kind ways he always showed us from the first time we met him. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Ed and Nan Holloway.

To my brother Jimmy,
If it weren't for you, I would have never have made it here to Virginia. You took me in and helped me start a life here. You gave me the strenth to leave home. Even though you had own family to raise and take care of, you helped me get a good job and gave me a place to live. Whenever I needed you, you were always there. Weather I was sick or just needed someone to talk to, you were there. You helped guide me through the good and bad in my life and you always knew the words to say. I have always looked up to you for all the things you have accomplished in your life. You had a big heart and cared for everybody. You were strong, always had the courage to do what needed to be done. I will never forget all the memories we made together, all the laughs. I remember riding on the your bus with you when I was younger, going to watch Bruce Lee movies with Bobby, and fishing at the river most recently. Even though sometimes we would argue, yell, and cuss at eachother, I could always call you a few days later and we would talk like nothing had ever happened. I always respected you, and will always love you. I'll miss you every day of my life, and you will always be in my thoughts. You were more than just my brother, you were my friend. You showed me how to live right and how to be a respectible man. I have a lifetime of memories to keep me company until I see you again.
