My deepest heart felt condolence-to your entire family. My lasting memory of J.W. was the time he taught me the art of painting in a home on Three Springs Rd. in Bowling Green-the commradery shared and developed from that project has had lasting affects on me personally. I continue to immulate his attention to detail to this day with regards to workmanship. His unbrideled spirit will forever live in my mind. I will miss him in this world. -Cyclone-
