We are so sorry to learn of Jimmy's death. I know how close all the brothers and your families have been all of your lives and how hard it is on everyone. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. We are not able to attend the funeral and Tom McArt called to say he will be out of town but sends his condolences also. Tom and Jerry, if you would please send me your email addresses, I will send you a couple of old photos of Jimmy and also one of Buck and Dolly and Mel and Peg. Love and hugs to all, Buff [email protected]

Jim's passing brings to mind a kind loving individual, devoted friend and family guy. Jim illustrated what a dislocated shoulder looked like in numerous softball and touch football games. How he loved to play and laugh. Watch out St. Peter if he and Denny invite you to sit down for a friendly game of poker.

Hi Patrick, What a happy friendly face your father has! I am sure he will be sorely missed. I wish you and your family comfort in this difficult time.

Rev:1:1-5 talks about a promise by God when death will be no more. " And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. I saw also the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.�
