Junior and Patricia lived down the street from us on East Main Street. Patricia and I walked to school together every day during first and second grade.  I remember him from high school as being a great athlete but after graduating, lost contact with the family.   My sympathies with the entire family during this sad and difficult time in your lives.  Helen Bussey McCloud

Knott and I were so saddened to hear about the loss of Junior. He and Knott played a lot of softball together. Our continued thoughts and prayers for all the family.

Uncle Junior was more sibling than Uncle. We grew up together. We lived with them for five years. We played baseball, football, basketball, bowled, swimming, and Junior was always so sweet and kind to me. But that is Junior. I will always treasure the years I shared with Uncle Junior. Sandra, Tim and Tammy - your Husband and  Dad was one fine man. I know that Angels are rejoicing to have Angel like your Dad in Heaven with them. Love yall very much - prayers and hugs during this most difficult time. Ms. Freddie Law

Junior was one of a kind who will be missed by many.  So many memories of him and Gary going to the softball field to play ball.  May God be with you all during this time. Gary always thought very highly of Junior and valued him and his insight.  So Junior at heaven's gate prepare us a good team with me being the catcher. "Let's play ball!" as per Gary. 

So long Jr until Gary and I see you again,

Kandi and Gary Cooper 



Junior,
My classmate, my baseball catcher.  I cannot believe you are not with us anymore.  You will be missed by many friends and family.

Jimmy Williamson



So sorry to hear about Junior’s passing.  First met him while I was working with the  Vidalia Recreation Department.  Junior refereed many of our all star games.   I also played against him in recreation softball tournaments.  Junior always handled everything with class.  He was a good man. I always had so much respect for him.  The family is in my thoughts and payers.
