JL worked for the railroad industry for thirty-one years before retiring. He lived to ride his Harley creating many loving memories with family and friends. He held the position as President of the Seven Brothers Bikers Club.

JL loved spending time with his family often over meals he had prepared. He fully embraced his country heritage and mesmerized people’s sense all over the state with his whole hog roasting, smoking, grilling abilities. Not only would JL provide you with a full belly, but lots of laughs with his story telling including his well known catch phrase like “main thing don’t panic!”
