Joann, Prayers for you and your family. My brother shared fond memories of your dad with me last nite. Cherish your memories.
Dear Toby, Charlotte, Melissa, Wayne,
May you find peace in all the good memories you have of this man that was your Daddy and Grandfather. Even though I only know you four from this family, it is quite obvious J.T. had great
values, was of substance, and had a lifelong love for his large family. I am thinking of you four along
with the grandchildren that were privileged to have known him….
