I will never forget the trips there to Auburntown to visit Mama Mears and see Junior there. I never will forget him and my dad taking me with them to hunt and Junior laughing cause I got frightened birds flying up out of the weeds. Ohhhhhhhhhhh how I wish I could go back and visit one more time........ I love you Junior and
the kindest Uncle I ever knew.
