Uncle Jim and Aunt Betty knew how to enjoy a rich full life together. Uncle Jim was brilliant, caring and wise. He will always live in the hearts and prayers of those who knew him well.

Jim Morrash is going to be very sorely missed. He and his wife, Bettty, were my parents' best friends dating from the '50s. Jim was there when I took my first steps, almost 50 years ago.
