Junior was my neighbor throughout my childhood. He and his family were very precious to my family. We have many fond memories of him. He will be greatly missed, but he leaves his legacy behind in his children and grands. RIP Junior. I’ve loved knowing you, and I will always think of you with a smile. Ginger Hufstedler
