JB was a 'straight shooter'. He was a no nonsense type of person who always had old time stories to tell. He had a passion for cars which included detailing, old schools, and an avid love for outdoor grilling. He loved to cook and will be long remember for the delicious meals he prepared occasionally for his family and friends. He loved to hang outdoors to plant his garden because his favorite thing to see was his vegetables come to life. He was a great provider and loved his family.
