Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I went to school at Red Oak with Junior. We were in a few classes together but I remember the good times we had in AgShop class with Mr. Weeks. We both agreed that Mr. Weeks help mold our lives. Our paths would cross occasionally and we would reminisce our days as youths. We would talk about those tobacco fields and how much we missed them. Junior was a great person and I will miss our chance meetings. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND. Condolences to his family and friends. Donald Skinner
