Sending love and prayers to JR's family. I have many happy memories of him. He was a very kind loving friend.
He was our first sales man at Catering Works 23 years ago and he could sell anything with so much enthusiasm. I never saw anyone get so excited about diced tomatoes!! He was a good soul and will be missed!!!
