J. loved his wife, kids and grandkids with all his heart. He loved playing his guitar and writing songs. He loved the challenge of working in his wood shop and could make anything. He had a good since of humor and would always say, “the world needs more humor. “. He’ll surely be remembered for his joke telling abilities. He liked to refurbish old stoves and would make them look new again. He was a very Godly man, a great Christian and fought the good faith until the very end. He will be remembered by many and was loved by all that knew him. He will be missed greatly.
