Dear Betty,I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Fred and I would run into him once in a while shopping and we would chat for a while, I told him I had some photos of you, Jim Diane and your Mom and Dad that he should have but we never got the chance to catch up. If you would like them please give me a call. I always remember the times we played together when we were kids fondly. He was a great guy. Hope all your fond memories of him bring you peace.

Jim and I go back to Briggs school in the late forties. At that time Jim and his family lived on south John street. We spent many days fishing Onota Lake and playing boy games. My thoughts are with his son to which I would like to say, His father was a good friend of mine. Sorry Joe for your loss.

While we did not get to share many memories...you reminded me of my Grandfather and Father in many ways. Most importantly you blessed this world with a son and 2 daughters...one of which I was blessed enough to marry. You are truly in a better place but are missed by all. But I am sure you are looking down and protecting your family as always!
