Seem to be a very friendly guy he always waved at my wife and I while he was working in the yard when we drove by his house and we honked the horn to acknowledge him every time.
Prayers for the family!!ðŸ™ðŸ¾ðŸ™ðŸ¾

So sorry for your loss. We always enjoyed being around JW, we had lots in common.
Our main Conversation was often about life on the farm or about all the antiques we had hauled to the dump. We will miss him.
We know he is with God and we will see him soon.
