Dear Jim,
I can barely remember a time in my life when you weren’t with my sister Shirley.
I’ll never forget your kindess to me, especially as a teenager. Being my big brother, giving me advise and just being there for me.
You’ve left me with many happy memories. One in particular stands out in my mind………the time you let me take your brand new Dodge to the movies!! I was 16, it was 1955 and anyone that knows how you felt about your cars might not believe this…but it’s true!!
So many of us will miss you, but we’ll have our memeories to comfort us!
I love you, I’ll miss you.

Shirley,
So many fun times are just going through my head and heart. I’ve thought of you and Jim so often with such fond memories; Fishing, hunting, trips, dinners, and just time spent together.
My prayers are with you and your family at this time. A giant huge hug for you!

Dear Aunt Shirley:
Thinking of you. I have many happy memories of our summers in Washington, and you and Jim were always in the thick of it. You took such good care of him, now he can look in on Granny for you.
Much Love & Sympathy,

We will truly miss our friend
Jim. We had so much fun getting together with he and Shirley. He gave it a heck of a fight.

Shirley, I just wanted you to know I am thinking of you even though I couldn’t be there in person. I hope all is well and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

We all loved Grandpa Great Grandpa for Cierra, and since we couldn’t be there in person, we wanted you to know that we are there with you spiritually and have you in our prayers. Thank you to Grandma, Mom & Dad, and everyone else who have tried to keep us “there” even though we are many miles apart.
Uncle Jim was my big buddy. Nothing will ever take the place of our convesations about Notre Dame football, Mariners baseball, or my family. I loved him as an Uncle and even more as a great Uncle to my children. We loved you very much Uncle Jim.
Shirley, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Jim will truly be missed!
We want you to know we’ll miss Jim very much. Gary only knew him a short 20 yrs. but it was enough to gather some great memories.
We send you our deepest sympathy and much love.
Myrna & Gary
Jim, You will be missed. I will never forget the time that you, Shirley and little Jimmy came to visit me and little Garrett and I went back to Washington with you. I am sure you will remember what Garrett did on that trip. When we would get together we laughed about that for a lot of years.
Jim you will be missed!! Knowing you has made my life richer.
Thank you Uncle Jim for all the great memories. You will be missed.
Uncle Jim will be truly missed by this entire family.
