Junior worked in a tire factory in Kansas City for many years. After that Junior and his wife Judy ran the Rockville Bar from 1976 to 1996.
He was a loving father, grandfather and very dear friend. He was a hunter, fisherman and loved trapping. He spent most of his last years in the river bottoms in Rockville. He loved talking about old times with his friends. He had many good times with his friends John Rector, Larry Barcus, Terry McNerny, Dean Huffman and John Roseman.
He had lots of stories to tell and loved sitting on the 4 wheeler being "boss of everyone" when he needed things done. He will be very dearly missed by all. He went to rest in the land of the deer and the lake full of fish. This was his dream. He has left lots of fun memories with his family and friends.
