Uncle JD will be missed. He was a kind, sweet man that loved to make everyone smile. I will never forget my uncle and how he would share his "old" candy with me when I was little. I love you Uncle JD.
Our deepest condolences in the loss of JD. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Janell, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your brothers. Your dad was one of the good ol guys and he will be missed by many
Uncle J.D. was one of a kind. Never saw him get angry or say an unkind thing about anyone. Love it when he and Aunt Pauline would come and get me and let me spend a week or so with them in the summer. Always a fun time. We will miss you, but never, ever forget you!
We will miss stopping in Conway to visit with Uncle J. D! We loved listening to stories about when he was growing up in Shirley and working in Conway. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family!
John, we are saddened by the loss of your dad...our prayers are with you.
We are so sorry for your loss. You're in our thoughts & prayers. May God strengthen you in days, months, and years ahead.
Uncle J.D. took me fishing many times and it was always a great adventure and was usually filled with lots of laughs. The stories he told me were always told as s l o w as molassess in wintertime. When I think of him, I smile.
So sorry for your loss. May God give you comfort through this difficult time.
He is no longer in pain and you will see him again in Heaven
God bless you all
Janell, thoughts and prayers to you and your Family during this difficult time.
