One of the best men in the world . You can sit and talk to him about anything. He was his children bestfriend. No man can compare to Jo jo cause jo jo was one of a kind. The best big cousin we could ever ask for. We all gravitated to him. He understood us better than anybody. And he never told our business to no adult.
