Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) JR Battled diabetes really badly, I used to talk or text him at least a couple times a month. Scary to note I drove him around town to get errands done and possibly I should have stopped driving long ago, that is for certain.I would clean his home too other various errands. The last conversation I had with him was 2/21/22. And he was explaining that he was returning to the hospital. I was really contemplating on posting this . As being a part of the dark underworld of Escort, as you know we are always the last to know. This guy was often misunderstood- yet if you took the time to get to know him? You would love him for being JR. He was a member on here pretty regularly too. His high school class and brother put on a memorial on for him back in May. I am reluctant to post his picture. If you wish to know more? Not that I know a great deal. Feel free to contact me. Edited December 12, 2022 by Kali Sensual Reiki 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 12, 2022 I wondered how he was doing. Thank you, Kali, for filling us in. He will be missed. I always enjoyed swapping stories with him at M&Gs. He was an asset to our community. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2022 I'm sorry for hearing this news. Thanks Kali for letting us know. You are always such a sweet lady to everyone you meet/know, your story about helping him does not surprise me. You are that kind of person and that's the thing I love about the most. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2022 So sorry to hear about this. He and I had some good conversations via PM's. We new some of the same folks in LA from the 80's. Kali, thanks for posting this. Makes me feel my age and mortality and that seems to be happening more frequently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2022 So I am now feeling a bit guilty because I tend to become so consumed with my own needs that a chunk of time passed with not hearing from JR? So,, I sent him a text message and no response.. A few days passed. I started to really wonder and i got a sick feeling and googled his phone number and that is when I was able to find his memorial.Taking him to Costco, Kaiser, other places .it was never a problem. He would also scold me on my driving and I would remind him, you know JR, it is not going to get any better! Of course we would laugh and I would tell him not to take pity on me. My eyes are my eyes and I will be fine. I just need to get home before it is too dark and I would leave him and drive home. He admired you all. He owned a little two bedroom bungalow house north of me. He made his second room into his office and filled with his memories of his past. He was a very interesting man and a special friend I will miss. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had so many real life stories about the adult scene that was long before the internet. People, places and a memory that was unmatched. My first toast this afternoon will be in his honor! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very sweet of you @Seeker5280 , You would have enjoyed him in person. The world of Hobbyists , is pretty much a myth. I just want to know who cleared all his memories off of his office wall?! I hope he felt nothing but pride while someone cleared his home. He had an incredible vinyl record collection too.

I know you both would have enjoyed him in person too. He knew all the porn people, strippers, as well as us ladies. Many of the guys who are old timers with TOB A few years back he took some nice pictures of me as well as a few other ladies in the business. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He told me while driving him around. 😂 I tried to explain to him that some people just would enjoy knowing him and were not about trying to get i touch with porn stars! He was of course skeptical. 🥹 I like to believe in the best until I am proven else wise. 😊 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My his eternity be filled with ink-free lovelies. @Happymon, you are correct he told me several times that the dancers and the porn ladies needed to keep their bodies “ink free” . Honestly, I seriously don’t know too many ladies or men without tattoos. Tattoos are very popular and acceptable in our culture. And I have heard guy’s here on TOB that like to see ladies with ink. To each their own. No judgement from me. Edited January 20, 2023 by Kali Sensual Reiki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2023 I’m one of the inkless. Ink was forbidden in my spec ops community. That said, I do enjoy viewing a well planned canvas. I’m intrigued by full body suits and sleeves. Not so much a hodge podge of celebration stickers. I know that each has their own personal story, but it looks like a well travelled steamer trunk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Tattoo's are becoming more commonplace and accepted in today's societ Edited January 20, 2023 by ilovewomen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 22, 2023 Both myadult kids have tattoos. I am coming to a point in life to accept them more too. No desire to have on my own body other than cosmetic tattoos, which I am doing because of losing my vision. Eyebrows, lip color, and eyeliner. Very subtle changes. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
