J. C. was the biggest OU fan in the world and enjoyed showing off his newest OU hat or t-shirt, especially to a Longhorn fan.  He never met a stranger and if you met him, he gave you no choice but to love him.

The family would like to thank the entire staff of Senior Care in Decatur for allowing J. C. to be "Honorary Director" of the Center and loving him as their own family.
