Paul, Jimmy, Lois, Judy, Lynn & Johnny,

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to each of you. May your family and friends bring you comfort during this difficult time. Wish I could be there with you to share a loving hug and a friendly chat. During this time of sadness, may it be a comfort knowing your dad is at peace and has joined the rest of his family in heaven. Remember, love continues, treasured memories last forever, family ties live on, and prayer unites us all.

Rose are red, Violets are blue, a flame flickered in the wind and brightly grew. We knew it was you walking into an embrace of our heavenly Lord.

May you now rest in Peace Uncle Jimmy. You will sorely be missed by those who love you.

Love & Hugs,

Hi,
Ronnie here, I share your sorrow in the loss of a very good, gentle man. The biggest compliment I think I can pay him and all of you is to say, If I had ever had a choice, he is the type of man I would have wanted for a father. If there is anything I can do please let me know.
