Admins:
I know this is early, so please understand the need for this thread.

Today is the first time in 36 years that JSM and MrsJSM were not able to talk to their beloved son on his birthday. I wanted to share a few things here with you all that he loved so much. Today is extremely hard on the entire EJW family and I just hope they can find comfort in everyone here, as they have so many times over the last year or so.

Here is a pic of me and EJW taken on 10-26-13, which was at Little Josey's 8th birthday party (this was right after he came home from MDA to enjoy his time):



EJW and Little Josey enjoying a kick fire at my hunting camp during the 2011 season:



EJW, JSM, Choirboy, and me on our fishing trip at Hopedale on 10-19-13:


JSM, Mama Wales, and Sister Wales left him some purple and gold today to get ready for football season:



I will never forget the friend he was to me and how much he cared for everyone around him. The outpouring love and support shown by everyone here is a testament to the man he was to everyone that knew him.

I ask that everyone keeps the entire EJW family in your thoughts as they continue to move forward with his memories. I also ask that everyone hug your loved ones a little tighter every chance you get.

RIP my brother. We will never forget.

I was just thinking about when me and him figured out who each other were on here. It was pretty hilarious. Neither had a clue each other posted on here. He sent me a text trying to figure out who this cat from Rayville was that was posting on a website called Tigerdroppings. shite, it was me.


Rip big guy.

I knew Ham was in that number, but didn't know you were. Happy Birthday, Walt. You're a gentleman AND a scholar. I don't care what anyone says!!

Thoughts and prayers gentlemen.

This smoker was Josey's I'm lucky enough to have received it from him. It gets used ALOT and every time he is thought of at the Ranch household.

I was fortunate enough to get to know him and even make a few good stories in that time and those will never be forgotten.

RIP big guy.

He had a younger fella he worked with at the time that came in with him that weekend. He texted me early that morning saying he was going to meet "Ole Geauxt" and I told him he better not leave without a pic. Low and behold he had the young whippersnapper taking pics and texting them to me while giving a play by play of the sweet nothing's the two of you were whispering to each other. That was until you saw him snapping pics.
