My thoughts & prayers are extended to Jr.’s family. He was a favorite of mine at the West Plains Senior Center. He was always the same and had a joke for me everyday. I will miss him.

Sending sympathy: When I saw the name, I remember as a child that my uncle Merle fished and went hunting with Francis Pettyjohn . They are buried close together at New Hope.
