Do you have an uncle that speaks in catch-phrases, has a reassuring tone to his voice as sure as sunshine after rain, too cool for school, and has relaxed demeanor like beach barbeque on summers day....that's my uncle Juney.
When I was a kid I distinctly remember thinking, are all uncles like mine because his coolness was simply....timeless.
Aristotle says that "Memory is the scribe of the Soul". I think because we facilitate our own ways of retaining memories and experiences.

I loved you I,n the beginning and I loved you at the end. The strength of a bond that is destined to last, the joys of the present, the warmth of the past....These are the treasures a fortunate few are lucky to cherish all their lives through.

Junie has been my friend since 1974 at Roth H.S. that friendship over the years. He would come to visit my family and bring Tammy and Qiana so our kids could play together often. He was always giving me positive and encouraging words when I felt down, also was a great fishing buddy. We had a great time at our 40th reunion and the photo taken at our table shows him , his wife , Casey Jones and I and I will always remember How calming his spirit was. He inspired us on Facebook to be better...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I love you and you will be missed. You were my only uncle and you were the perfect uncle. While growing up, you treated me like I was your daughter...as uncle's should do. You allowing me to spend so much time with you, Qiana, Lil Juney, & Tammy in my younger years played a major role in my young life. Qiana was like a sister to me as well. Your family was like my second family. I'm going to miss you calling me Little Marcella (my mom's name). I love you uncle. I wish you were still here.
