My heart breaks for you and your family during this difficult time. I knew JR when I lived up there in Indiana. He helped me on my final move back to Florida. We used to enjoy cooking together in the kitchen making different concoctions, he will be missed. He was always making you laugh. See you on the other side my dear friend.🙏❤️🙏🥲
