    My heart goes out to all of you. Jim was such a sweet man and I always enjoyed talking to him when I saw him at the library.

    He has such a wonderful family and I am sure he was proud of all of you. May all the wonderful memories you have of your Dad and Grandpa help you through this difficult time.

    You have my deepest sympathy.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I never had an occasion to meet James, however, his daughter in law Linda shared wonderful stories of the great man she new. James served during the same time period in Korea that my Father did. Hopefully they will be sharing “military stories” together.

    God Bless,

    Shelly L
