It's amazing how easily we take things for granted! We don't call or visit because we think theres plenty of time for that. If only I could take back time and make that phone call to hear your voice, or stop by for a visit to see your smile. I will miss you Uncle Junior! Aunt Marie, Sandy, Vic and Family, You are in my Thoughts and Prayers, Sorry for your loss! Love you all!

My brother will be greatly missed, but we will always have the memories to reflect on and there have been many. Although there was only about 10 years difference in our age, he was like a father figure to me and when I was visiting them Marie kept me straight. He always supported me in little league baseball, BB Guns, bicycles, squirrel snd deer hunting, go carts, motor cycles, graduation, drag racing fast cars (mostly his), hustling pool and a few other things we won't go into. Sandy and Victor have been wonderful, by his side through all the rough times, to the very end. We are all so proud of them and they will carry on his legacy.
