Some 20 years ago Jr gave me a job when I needed it. For this I will always be greatful. Jr. is at rest now but his legacy will continue on.

It is with great sadness that we heard the news. Junior truly loved his family and friends. It was always a pleasure to see him out and about town. We will think of him often.

It is with a heavy heart that I sign this guest book. Junior fought for 4 weeks and even with all the prayers and good thoughts sent his way, there was another plan, a higher journey for him now. May God Bless Junior and give Alex, Sarah and Marissa the strength they need at this difficult and sorrowful time. We, the employees of Apex are richer for having had the opportunity to know Junior and to learn from such an incredible mentor. May he rest in peace, and watch over his loving family.
Fondly,
