I was saddened to hear J.C. had passed away. I thought the world of him. He was such a very kind man.

He and my dad (Edd Lemons) worked together at ASARCO in Mascot for years, and dad really liked J.C. When I would go to take dad his lunch occasionally, J.C. would always joke with me and ask where his was!

Now, he and my mom and dad can dine at the great banquet table in Heaven, because I know that's where they are now.

May God comfort you in your loss.

I was always nervous and a bit intimidated by Mr. Harrell when I would pick up Sharon for a date. I learned many years later what a nice guy he was. Sorry for your loss.
