What words can even begin to describe Junior..epic, humble..a tireless and true example of Christ. His example and legacy of service to others didn't end with his kids and grandkids, it extended to their friends and the community. The door to their home was open, you didn't need to call to visit, there was always enough Sunday dinner for anyone who showed up. He took so many to wood island services, gulls egging, wherever he could help or serve, he went, without question, without being paid, in his quiet, steady, kind way, never a complaint..and he simply got er done. His dedication to always be an example for Jesus was profound and evident to all.
Everyone has seen his kids and grandkids over the years, and their tireless dedication to the community, on the fire department, the wood island trips and always helping others.. it's remarkable and speaks volumes about Junior. I'm blessed to have always been welcome and treated the very best by Junior and Mae, I'll forever cherish every memory of my 45 years of visits, occasional Sunday dinners..and the love I felt from them every time I saw them.
As your family grieves this enormous loss..look at each other and see what we see.. Junior and who he was, can be seen in each of you, in your own special way, he is clearly evident in all of you. Until we see him again on that beautiful shore, condolences and blessings to each family member,
With sadness and love,
Lexie Wilcox
