It is with a heavy heart that we share that our beloved technician, Albert J. Franco Jr., passed away on July 27, 2025. Albert has been a staple in the J & R family since we purchased Security Shop in 2020, and many years before that with Security Shop. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. He will be truly missed, not only by his family, friends, and coworkers, but by his countless loyal customers.
