Junior was an avid outdoorsman who found great joy in hunting and working on the farm. He was a Braves fan. He treasured every opportunity to spend time with his family and was passionate about coaching youth baseball, taking great pride in teaching children not only the game but also the values of teamwork and sportsmanship. He devoted 44 years to Valmet, where he worked as a machinist and manager. During his years there, he formed countless friendships and was respected by all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

The family would like to express a special thank you to Enhabit Hospice, Dr. Jason Wilkes and Staff.  And a very special thanks to close friends and family members who went above and beyond to help with his care.
