He is survived by his four daughters: Michele Banks, Rebecca Belliston, Julie Hansen, Emilie Gomes, his loving wife Karen Shaffer as well as his sisters and his many grandchildren. He was excited to learn that he was to be a great-grandfather with two of his grandchildren expecting soon.
J.R. had many careers during his life including high school science teacher, police officer, EMT, volunteer fireman, and finally fulfilling his lifelong passion of silversmithing and working with opals in his retirement owning his own business Opal Art.
J.R. was a strong man who raised his daughters to be strong and independent and he welcomed the men his daughters chose as his sons. He was proud of his family and took great joy in them. He was a mentor and friend to many who remember him fondly.
J.R. was known for his dry sense of humor and unexpected snark, which he passed on to his progeny. In his last years he spent his time charming the nursing staff in his home in Trumbull, Connecticut. He was beloved by those who cared for him.
