Sending Prayers to the family. I knew JR through his Brother Thomas. JR worked on my vehicle for me.
Kay, I am sorry to read about JR passing. I know he has been in bad health for years, but he is at peace now. I know he will be missed by everyone who knew him and that will be quite a few people because he never saw a stranger and he was a friend to many. May God give you peace, strength, and comfort when you need them the most. Take care and God bless.
