Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Junior always had a special place in our hearts. I can remember him chasing my sister and I when we were little, thinking he was going to get our toes with a hammer. He was always so much fun to be around. He will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Russell & Lisa Reed
