I called him "Uncle Junie". He always made me laugh. All of my memories are from being on Uncle Curt's farm and the old " Hoppy Place" with him. Rest now, Uncle Junie

Junior was one of my cousins that I had the pleasure of being around while growing up in Kentucky. Over the years, I visited his farm when Uncle Curt was alive and later when Junior hosted family reunions. Fishing and hunting on the farm is one of my favorite memories.
He was influential in my decision to make the military a career, as well.
Rest in peace, my cousin. I'll always remember your laughter.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Jr. Wish I had known he was in Elizabethtown.
We had many fond memories as young children on the Farm. Rest in peace dear one.
