Roma Family:
JR was always very supportive from my Moose days through the state championship and it always meant a great deal to me. To this day some of my best memories and friendships originated from the Post 82 teams that JR lead and shaped. Our confidence and ability to overcome was a byproduct of our leader. The players loved JR and he got the best from them. He will be missed.
