Phyllis and family, I’m so sorry to see the passing of JB. He was a wonderful man and was like a Grandpa to me! I was blessed to care for him. You all are in my thoughts and prayers! Love you all, Amber
Appreciate all your care and concern Amber! You were a lucky find for the Hickerson Family. God bless. Jay
JB was a very special man. He was the most energetic and toughest boss anyone can have, but he had a heart of gold. I worked for JB for many years and I learned a lot working for him. He never asked anyone to do a job he wouldn’t do himself. I’ll miss visiting him and he will be missed, one unique guy. God threw away the mold that he made of JB. Rest In Peace JB.
Thank you so very much for your kind words Ray! Jay
