Dearest Compatriot the battle still wages for our history as you have fought the good fight rest now cross the river under the shade we will be the shortly with canteens full when the day is done. Thank you for all you have done we have the watch and we will serve you proudly. God Bless you my friend and brother in arms.
See you later, my good friend. I will never forget the good times, sitting around the cigar shop telling stories. Your love for your nephew inspired me...and thanks for the pipe, I still have it and I will cherish it even more.
I consider myself lucky to be called friend by JR, our circles included Cigars and Poker, and just general having around. I wish I had been able to spend more time these last few years, but I am grateful I have the memories that we shared... my prayers go out to Miss Alice and JRs family and friends, for he will surely be missed...
Godspeed my dear friend and brother in the SCV. Your ancestors will greet you with open arms and thank you for the long and widespread works in defense of their good name.
