Junior was one of a kind. He started working in the logging industry
at the age of 13 with his Pawpaw Pelt, his daddy and his uncles. He was a jack of all trades, including a lineman, trucker, welder, mechanic and carpenter.
Junior had the best sense of humor, always so funny and quick with come backs and
quotes like no other. He was the life of the party. He was willing to help anyone in need when he could.
Junior loved spending time with his nieces and nephews, they loved their Ole June Bug very much. He enjoyed hog hunting with one of
his best friend Greg Johnson. He also loved hanging out with his lifelong friend Raymond White.

was on his mind that’s what he told you.
