We treasure you as our dearest friends and love you so much. Please know we are thinking of you and your entire family.

Carla and Jim's Family,

We had only know Jim for a few years but he was a very special person and friend. We will miss our next door neighbor in Tx. He was one that you could always depend on for good advise.

Our thoughts are with you all.

Fondly,

For Jim

I shall not cry because our time is at an end. I shall mingle instead amid fond memories and smile, having had the privilege of knowing such a remarkable man. Although his forearms were enslaved to crutches, and his legs bound by steel, neither ever succeeded in foiling or containing his indomitable spirit!

A lifetime of acquaintances have I witnessed, casting their woes upon the breeze, mired of their own accord on the shoals of impossibility. Ah had only they known Jim as I did. Time-and-time again he demonstrated to each whom had the pleasure of his company that LIFE is indeed what you make it.

With actions rather than words, he inspired us with his extraordinary perseverance and ingenuity.

Some read parables about the power of a positive outlook. Others attend seminars, scrawling mottoes designed to rally their mood in times of doubt…but you and I, the brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, neighbors, and friends...fortunate are we for our belief was derived not by word, but by the works of James E. Crocker.

Thank you Jim, for mentoring, and leading us to a greater understanding of what it means to truly live!

Lovingly & appreciatively,

Christine & Kurt Catalano
