It is hard to lose old friends especially those thought so highly of. They are just so very hard to come by. Our thoughts go out to the whole family.

Uncle J.W., you were not only my uncle you was like another father. You and aunt peg took care of me when my mom left. You always made sure I had every opportunity that everyone else had. You taught me to "do it right the first time so you don't have to do it again". You always had great advice that I will cherish and live by forever and pass onto my children. You are the reason I work so hard BC you showed me early that hard work will pay off. You and aunt peg were the glue that held us together and life won't be the same without you. Thank you for stepping in and directing me in a good moral up bringing you will never be forgotten

JW, You where a lot of things to a lot of people, Husband, father, grandfather, friend, teacher, confidant, mentor, leader. Your influence in this world will last for generations, you where stern but a fair man. You never backed down from a fight if it was worth fighting for. You have been a inspiration in my life for the last several years and I am a better person for knowing you. Thank you for having faith and trust in me to be a part of your legacy in the company you help build into what it is today and for treating me with the decency and kindness few leaders in this world have today. You will be missed by many, and forgotten by no one that had the privilege of knowing you.....May you find the peace you deserve.

JW, you are not only my friend, an amazing man, inspirational family man, keen businessman, but a mentor.
Thank you for taking the time, years ago, to show me the necessary skills, that I still have today, that have lead me with confidence into tomorrow. I could not have asked for a better individual to “HEP” me along the way.
I am lucky to know you and forever you will be in my heart!

JW...Words can never express my love and gratitude for all that you have done for our family. You were ALWAYS a man of his word and my mentor. The memories will be cherished forever. The advice you have given me over the years made me the man I am today. Thank you for being the best father-in-law a guy can ever have. You will be truly missed!
