I have lived in a unique neighborhood where neighbors were friend and also like family. I worked out of town and JR rescued me with car tows back to Greensboro. I loved traveling the street to have a curbside conversation and play with his fancy little dog. He was the mayor of the 1500 block....I always enjoyed seeing him as I drove down the street and blew my horn.My prayers will be for his family as they journey thru these days without him....no one could wear a cowboy hat like JR....To his family his legacy will be how he took care of his end of Pichard Street. Peace and blessings to you all.
Love

I am saddened to hear of the passing of a Dudley Heights icon. I recall him out in his yard on Pichard Street with his fabulous vehicles. He was forever friendly and helped countless neighbors who had car trouble. My late mom, Charlotte C. Swann, relied on him to get her car started. I lift the family in prayer.

Affectionately known to me and my brother Roger as Junior, he was bigger than life to us as children. He was the guardian of Pichard Street. He had the beagles and the rabbits in the backyard that entertained us all. We all believed Jr. could do everything. And he did. I also remember the little sports car too. He was the coolest and will be missed on this earth. Condolences to the Rice family from brother and sister,
