Natalie, Family and Friends,

Any one who knew J.R. knew his love for teaching, fishing, his country and his giving spirit. I have many fond memories of our teaching experiences at Highland Springs Tech Center and being a guest in your home. I was blessed to share a small part of his life. Praying for peace and understanding.
