JR was a wonderful human being. He was my neighbor,my freind, my gardening advisor and my cooking expert. We so...enjoyed sharing recipes and cooking meals together. I will alway cherish his memory and my vacations from school will be very lonely. I feel fortunate to have had JR in my life.
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers and I want you to know he loved you deeply.

I am so sorry to read about "J.R.". I worked with him while I was in college at the White Stores in Burlington and he always had that smile. Both J.R. and John would keep me laughing all of the time and I remember Brian coming in when he was a toddler--you were "his light".
Family you were so Blessed to have him--and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

JR - What a character. As a long time friend we enjoyed discussing the outcome of the Gators/Vols football games. A Chef, gardner, entertainer - he had it all and really knew how to treat his friends. I will certainly miss him and will cherish the memories of him forever.
