Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

My sincere condolences to Jim's family and friends. He was the epitome of a great member of the Elks Club in Pasadena and I would see him every Tuesday night and wondered about his absence.
His generosity and Faith Filled life was an example for me and all those that had the great pleasure of knowing him.
He loved his family and his love for Elks and what they represent was admirable. I will surely miss him and the wonderful conversations we had with each other every Tuesday night.
His introduction to the Lawrence Welk Resort in Cathedral City was of esteemed appreciation. My wife and I will never forget his impact on us and on our family.
May he rest in Peace and Perpetual light shine upon him.
He will be long remembered for his friendship and supreme example of being Faithful to the cause.
