Jr. was as fine a man as I have ever met. In any conversation with him, it only took a few minutes for him to mention his family, how much he loved them and how proud he was of them. His values, integrity and work ethic were admirable. I will miss seing him and can only imagine how muich you all will miss him. But, he is with yhou and always will be. May God give you the peace and joy that only He can give.
