RJ was well known for his quick wit and many stories, and the glint in his eyes and his lop-sided grin always indicated another embellished tale was coming. Please share some of those stories with us as we celebrate his life on January 12, 2024, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm at The Golf Club at Yankee Trace, 10000 Yankee St., Centerville, Ohio 45458.

Minor, Richard
