Read MorePauline, Wayne and Robbie, I am so sorry we missed the services. We just found out about them. JR has always been a part of the neighborhood. Paul remembered the time years ago he came down and played with Marty and you asked if it was alright. That was probably 30 years ago. My heart aches for you guys. I pray God helps you through this terrible tragedy. My he rest in peace.

I will always know him as "JR". He was my sidekick for many years as well as my designated driver. We had many great times and a lot of laughs. I will miss his smile and his charm. Rest in Peace friend.
