Not sure what to say?

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...

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.

My prayers to J.r. and family we really had a lot of good times with The Golden Suns Original he was a kind hearted person would keep you laughing Ephesians 6 The Armor Of God And I had the pleasure of J.R. as my coworker you will be missed

My Prayers is with the Family. JR was a very special friend and we always rode our motorcycles together. He always called me Brotherman.

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of JR. We will truly miss him at our family gatherings. We will keep the Rice Family and Wanda Troxler in our prayers. God bless you during this difficult time.

He was a good cowboy.

My prayers and condolences to the family and loved ones. We will miss him.

You will truly be missed Uncle J. I love you forever and always ❤

My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family. I worked with JR at GCS. He was a wonderful person. We always shared a laugh or two. He will be missed.
