JL was one of my dearest life-long friends. We first became acquainted when we were just teenagers in 1956 and have continued to stay in contact from time to time over these many yrs in the past. We always loved pickin' guitars together and we shared our passion of driving those big ol' trucks over-the-road for any years. I will truly miss my dear friend J.L.> Vaya Con Dios
