To Carolyn, Ann, Tommy, Cheryl & the rest of the family: It's difficult to sum up feelings or find words that help at times like this. Please know that we are praying for you and are here as you need us. Thankfully, we have a lot of fine memories of Uncle James (aka Papa Jim). Looking back across all those memories, three things about him stood out to me. First, he was a brilliant person. He could design, build or fix anything! I remember he once helped me diagnose and fix a dryer long distance. Maytag Man had nothing on him! Second, he had that great dry, witty sense of humor. Third was his his love and care for his family. In his quiet, consistent way he was there every day for those he loved. He made an effort to show that he cared also with visits and frequent phone calls to Mom and the rest of us over the years. We are blessed to have had him in our lives and will remember him always. May God bless you! Lynn, Rita, Brent and Adam
