Patti Lee Toupal
I met RJ and his brothers when I was 13 years old. I believe iat 15 I had a little crush on him, but actually all the girls did :-). He went to grade school with my husband Kenneth. From an early age he was always a joy to be around.. I have so many many fond wonderful memories. I remember when cell phones came out and him and candy had the big box cell phone in the car. They would come to visit and I would always say go get your phone go get your phone:-) we all had some wonderful times throughout the years. RJ loved candy and his family and friends and gave each of us a special piece of his heart. RJ and his brothers had a very special bond with family and each other. Throughout the decades RJ has always been like a brother and friend to me. He had genuine qualities like none other. I thank God that he was pit in my path for so many years. There will never be another like him and life will not be the same without him. He had a great spirit and will be missed dearly by many. May God Comfort his family and give them strength💞
