JR worked hard to support his family and had a fulfilling career with HRM for over 30 years, retiring in 2017.

Growing up in Preston, following in his dad’s footsteps is where he learned the importance of taking care of his family. JR was a family man and an extremely proud father who loved watching his children grow up playing sports and teaching them the importance of respect. He enjoyed fishing, camping, playing cards and going on family vacations. He looked forward to Sunday Night Football and having long evening phone chats with his children.

He cared very deeply for his family in Preston and always made sure to stay close and connected. Family meant everything to JR (Junebug), he had a special place in his heart for all of his nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
