Uncle Junior and Gina have been a great part of my life since childhood. We shared so many adventures. One year, I rode behind Uncle Junior on his 350 motorcycle on the back roads and different places in Upshur County. It was a great adventure. We made several trips to Texas and back to WV. I visited Texas when Uncle Junior was 90 years old. He shared many sites with me, driving to Fort Worth, the tower where all of Dallas could be seen, the aquarium in Dallas, and driving to Austin, TX to visit a Holly Grove friend and neighbor. One year, Dale and I flew to Las Vegas, Nevada to meet Uncle Junior and Gina there. We toured the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. We shared so many adventures over the years. Whether on a great adventure or sitting and visiting with him on his front porch, he was always a great man and Uncle with much knowledge and what a great memory he had! I can't begin to put into words, how special he was!
