In his retirement years Junior led a simple but fulfilled life. He loved his family, his wife

(Elouise) of 54 years, his daughters Shirley (Cookie) and Terri (who lovingly referred to him as "Turk"), his sons Willie and David, who challenged him quite often in dominoes. His grandchildren adored him. The family recognized him as the head of the family. He made an impact on everyone who knew him.

Junior loved playing, strategizing and eventually winning in dominoes. He also loved the

Green Bay Packers. He rarely missed a game. He was an avid hunter and loved fishing. Junior was competitive. If you challenged him in anything, you had to bring your "A" game, or you would pay for it.
