Well my big little brother, how did we get here? When we were kids I wanted you to notice me and when we became adults you wanted me to notice you. How crazy is life. I love you my brother, you were a prince among men. I know you are seated at the big table now! I hope you get to see all those we’ve loved and passed before us. You are and will be greatly missed, your bro.
Uncle Joe,
It would have been nice to have more time to hear all your wild stories. It was fun tagging along with dad and visiting you. I enjoyed listening to you guys reminisce about how things used to be… Rest easy.
Your niece

DAD,
Well life was not perfect, but we shared so many wonderful memories. Your love for the Lord greatly inspired me to be who I am today. I love you and miss you but I know will see you on the other side. You can finally rest dad and know that I am okay.
My deepest condolences to the family .
I’ve known JR since March of 2014, since then it’s been a pleasure to get to know him and take care of him.
He was very kind and easy going, and wants to be independent.
He’s always been so appreciative to me and with all the staff.
JR, we will miss you dearly
JR thank you for who you were. Your faith was an important part of all you gave your country, your students and your family. May God grant you an eternity of peace with indescribable beauty and may your broken, tired body be not even a distant memory..,
JR,
Thanks for all of the things you taught me through your stories of your experiences. You were such a smart and well read guy. I’ll miss our conversations. I am glad I was able to help care for you these past few years.
Rest in peace my friend.
