 I just exchanged emails with him yesterday and he described what had happened to him when he fell the other day. What a terrible loss for his family and his family here. Godspeed RJ, thank you for all the sage advice you have given me over the years, your friendship and your service to our country. Truly an example of the greatest generation. |

I am so sorry to hear of his passing. It was an honor and a pleasure to call him our friend. We met in person the first time at the first Inzane. Our girls were little then and instantly took a liking to him as well. Thank you to his family for sharing such a wonderful man. I hope in time they will come out here and see how much he is loved. Our thoughts and prayers are with you to ease this pain.

So sorry to hear this. Sincere condolences to his family and many friends. He was definitely one of a kind and touched so many of us in his own special way. A proud and honorable man with a heart of gold and infectious smile and laugh. One who was always the first to offer his hand in help or friendship. He was a man's man. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of RJ's passing. I remember my first encounter with him....riding in a golf cart at InZane and selling 50/50 tickets (okay forcing ya'll to buy them). :-)
He never missed a birthday, holiday or other special event - even if it was just an email. I don't know how he kept track of us all but he did.
RIP Buddy. We are going to miss you.
