Junior was my daddy's first cousin (Charles Kirk). They were close growing up and then stayed close as they married and raised their families. Junior was so kind to stay in touch with many of his first cousins as they grew older. Many of them were handicapped and could not get out easily. Junior faithfully visited them in their homes and then the nursing home. He also spent many hours talking on the phone to my dad who was almost deaf and then blind in his later years. Those long phone conversations were a blessing to my dad and he enjoyed them immensely. Junior will have a special place in heaven for all he has done to make the lives of his extended family happy and enjoyable.
We were so sorry to hear of Mr. Earlie's passing. Our family thought so much of Mr. Earlie.& Miss Mapie Jean. They were wonderful friends & neighbors (on Simpson Street) to my Aunt & Uncle, Winford & Paralee Walker and my dad & mom, Willie & Agnes Parrish, for many years. After my uncle passed away, Mr. Earlie was so good to check on my aunt everyday to see if she needed anything.
Sending our condolences.
