My brother-in-law was a very nice and friendly person. He was a jack of all trade. He was a great cook, and a good mechanic. My nephews are the same way. Best grillers in the family! We shared so many sweet memories together from Gary, IN-Atlanta, GA. Junebug will be missed so RIP brother-in-law.
Love You
