To Justy's Family,
I remember Justy from Righetti. He always had a smile and a kind word to say. Knowing he's no longer with us makes all who knew him very sad. Because no bond is as great as that between a parent and child, you have my deepest sympathy. Know that I and many others are with you for comfort and support as you grieve.

Justy you will be missed, My Heart and prayers are with your family now.
I remember a long time ago when you and I went for a day hike from your ranch in the bradly dip east to where the 101 in now, then up the hill to explore the towers at the top. On the way back to your place, I picked up this really cool rock, you didn't say much just chuckeled a bit. You let me carry it all the way back to the ranch. Your Dad saw me and this cool rock. He asked me what was I doing with that Cow Lick? Justy laughed so hard at me I thought he would bust a gut. Well Gee I was a city boy,how was I to know!
We had fun!
My life has been better growing up just knowing Justy.Thanks for the Memories.

How sad to hear of Justy's passing. He was a year ahead of me in school at both Orcutt and Righetti. As a UPS driver he did an excellent job of servicing the shop I worked at. He was a kind and friendly soul who lite up the place when he walked in. This world will miss him.
