To Jim Decatur and family we would like to give our deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers on the passing of your father. There were many a time that your father was in our hearts and on our minds during the times spent together in the guard and at Pine Knoll in Grayling. Your father will be remembered as the great soldier that he was and Fred always spoke highly of him.I know Fred had those good times in his mind in the last days before his passing in October and you,his 1070th comrades and your father and family were a great part of those memories. With love and best wishes June Squires and family.

To the Decatur family:
I was so sorry to read of Jim's passing (day of funeral) and unfortunately I was unable to attend services. My heart goes out to all of you and my prayers are with you and yours. I have many memories of Jim and Emma when I lived next door to Kathy up on the highway. Again, draw on God's strength during the upcoming days and weeks during your time of sorrow and cherish all of the hundreds of memories you have. Rosemary Petoskey (Pasch) DeWitt, MI
