James Henry Dansby
Was my friend, He had more respect for his fellow man ; then his fellow man for him. He had an inventors mind, and some of his invention are still being used on city trucks today. I had the most respect for him because he never cussed me or be-little me. I enjoyed working with him, learned from him, I will mess him. REST WELL MY BROTHER

Opal and family, doubt that you remember me but I was a bag boy at Kwik Chek when you were a cashier. Do remember James also. I speak with Bill Johnston often. Know that James had great life in the Lord.
