The greatest man I ever knew was my daddy. He was a kind, loving and giving man. I will forever treasure the last minutes my sister Ginger and I spent with our dad, wiping his tears as we told him how much we loved him and appreciated him being our dad. Your loving daughter Dinah PS: We will see you soon.

HE WAS A WONDERFUL DADDY THAT MADE MY CHILDHOOD FUN AND ALWAYS TRIED TO TAKE OF ME, ESPECIALLY AFTER MY HUSBAND DIED. HE BECAME MY BEST FRIEND AND
WHEN I WAS DOWN HE WOULD ALWAYS MAKE ME LAUGH. HE TRUSTED AND CONFIDED IN ME ALL HIS WISHES. HE WAS A PERSON THAT LOVE TO HELP PEOPLE BUT HE NEVER WANTED ANYONE TO KNOW, HE WAS A TRUE GIVER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO WITHOUT MY LOVING DADDY. HIS DAUGHTER GINGER

As part of the Marcum family for almost 20 years I knew James as Pawpaw, full of stories and strong opinions. He enjoyed his family and I'm thankful that his great-grandson Erik got to know him and spend time with him. He will be missed.
