"RJ was always such a generous and kind neighbor. He was ready and willing to help anyone, at anytime, and in anyway that he could. It was so easy to see that he and his family members all shared such a deep love of one another. We know that he will be deeply missed and we send our sympathy, love and prayers to Maria, and to his children and grandchildren."
In loving memory of
