JR was a diamond in the rough. His presence was always a joy to be around and I have honestly not met a kinder or more gentle soul. My family and I had the privilege to spend holidays with him and his wonderful second half Noreen. JR was always positive and wise with all things and brought smiles and laughter into each of our lives. I'm so thankful for those times with him. I feel truly lucky to have met such a kindred sprit. Although he is gone from our lives JR and his greatness as a man will live forever in our memories and our hearts. We will never forget. <3
