JR made my day so many times. I would walk in and there he would be . Always with a warm greeting and a funny story to tell me. For me he was part of what made living in New Orleans a better experience. Jr was a loyal friend , generous and giving . I can never forget the time a snake got into my sister's house . Jr showed up with some guys to get the snake out, and some magic powder to keep them away.
I miss him . I know he is having fun in heaven with a lot of our old friends.
