Junior graduated with me in the R-S Central Class of 1966. He was a good guy and a fellow Vietnam Vet. May precious memories and God's grace comfort you in the days ahead.

Family I am sorry for your loss. Me and Jr grew up together over on Collet St and went to church at Second Baptist. He was a good man and he loved his Grand children. I use to see him some at Hardees and he would talk about them a lot. Before I went to Nam I went down to talk to him about it and what to expect.I too will miss him. Once again I am so sorry. Take care and God knows what is best. Wish I could be there Monday but I have VA appointment that I have to keep.We will be praying for yall. Take care because we will see him again.

I am so sorry. I didn't realize Jr was sick. Such sad news for the holidays but the comforting thought is he got to spend Christmas with his Momma and Daddy as well as Jesus. I am at visiting my daughter at the beach but wanted to let y'all know you were in my thoughts.

Jr. was a dear buddy in H.S., he nicknamed me Stumpy and never called me anything else. I wrote to him while he was in Viet Nam and prayed for him to be safe and return home. I left N.C. in 1970 when I married but there were some people and friends I have never forgotten and Jr. was one of them. God is lucky to have him in Heaven with Him. May God's love sustain you in this sad time and give you peace and comfort in the New Year. Sandee

I grew up with Junior. We went to school together from 1st grade thru
high school. We were in the boy scouts together for a number of years. We were both military policemen in Vietnam. I have hundreds of pleasant memories of our times together. Rest in peace good buddy.

I reconnected with Jr. last winter at the R-S Central mini-reunion. He was the same kind and caring person that I remembered from high school. He was proud of his family. My prayers are with you during this sad time.
