Mr. Capone will always be a part of my fondest memories. He was a joy to know and he was one-half of the reason that I have a good friend in Ceal.
Rest well in paradise, Mr. Capone...

My friend, my comrade in arms and ardent supporter of Jim. From 1950 to Now, Jim was steady as she goes, basically unflappable, all around nice guy.yet quiet and unassuming. In the 70s & 80s, Jim proved he was a family man to the core. We grieved with him at the loss of his daughter because she was our family too. To his family, please accept my sincerest, heartfelt condolences. Jim, hope to see you up there one day not too far away, when we all can get together again in His house. Rangers Lead The Way, Paul Redgate

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Ceal. I remember fondly the times your mom and dad would come into the bank. Even with his quiet demeanor, he still was funny. Bear in mind his suffering is over and he is now at the right hand of God watching over his family. God bless you all.
