    I have some great memories of fun times with Junior & Sharron. Many get together – camping, fishing, canoeing, and cookouts. He was a top-notch archer, fisherman, and cook. He loved to be with family and friends. I truly enjoyed my friendship with both Junior and Sharron.

    Garland and I shared many good years. I will cherish the wonderful memories we made together. He was the best “Papa G” to our granddaughter’s. He loved them both but Makinsey was special to him. I did love him so much. Heartbroken…..

    I am so sorry I was never able to catch up with Junior as adults!! My mother told me he had passed away long ago. Wish I had known he was in Hot Springs. Our parents were very very close and he and I went to school together. The only picture I have of him was at my 10th birthday party. I think Nellie was in it too! We had some great times at the Worm Ranch!
