JR was a good person. A good father, a good stepfather, and a wonderful grandpa. When his grand daughter Sarah Clark-Carson (my daughter) was born, he was at the hospital, he came by every weekend after she was first born and spent a lot of time with her. He was very generous and gave me my first car. He and his
parents Jack and Barb invited us to every family reunion. He was a good man and it was a pleasure to have known him.

As a high school classmate, I remember that we all knew the "Carson boys" to be helpful, reliable, guys that could help out with anything mechanical and that required strength. They went on to prove that same reliability in adult life and had respect. Thoughts are with all of the family, and know he was looked upon highly.
