29 May 2007 Jinx, you are still in our hearts and memories. I am one of your twin sister-in-laws and although I was only 13 when you were killed, I loved you as a brother. I think of you often and the great sacrifice you made while still a young man. I have come to this site many times looking for a memorial, but found none and wanted others to know we loved you and haven't forgotten you. It has been 39 years, but yet it seems like yesterday when Rena and I were out in the yard playing ball in the late afternoon and they came to tell us you were gone. Our hearts broke. You were the first person we loved to be taken from us and I'll never forget the pain. I had gotten a letter from you just a day or so before that. We will always remember you!!
