JB was one of the greatest men I have ever known. He was a friend that stuck and knew you no matter what. I recall when he and Sandra were dating and were married. What a couple they made! Heaven's getting sweeter everyday.
Uncle JB was an amazing example of what a loving Christian man should be. He will be missed dearly by all who were fortunate enough to have to known him. Prayers for Sandy and all the immediate family as they grieve this huge loss.
