Not sure what to say?





Judy,
Jim and I flew to Salt Lake city on October. 8th and were unable to express our sympathy in person. However, I wanted to say how sorry we are for your loss.

I learned of Jim's passing this morning on Facebook from Connie Reeds who was a Jennings High School classmate (1958), whose husband, Ron, was a friend of Jim's. Very sad to hear this. Jim and I were good friends while active members of West Florissant Baptist Church. Together we planned some special events sponsored by the young people, including the annual Sweetheart Banquet where he and I were elected as king and queen...I still have some great pictures with him from the late 50s and early 60s. I was always very fond of him and have wondered what his life and family were like...it appears that he had a wonderful family and full, happy life. I left St. Louis many years ago and have lived in Southwest Missouri since where I graduated from college, married and have one daughter and two wonderful grandchildren. Again, my sincere condolences on your loss. He was just a great guy and friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Thanks to the open door policy at the Wedgwood Estate over the years Mr and Mrs H became second parents to many. I heard it once said Mr H had the largest TV aerial on the block and never bragged about it. That's the type of man he was.

To Judy and family;
We were saddened to hear of the passing of your husband, father, grandfather, all-around good guy, and our friend, Jim. Be assured that you will all be in our prayers as you enter this season of sorrow.
