We moved to the area in 1985 and began taking our children to the Pumpkin Patch soon after. It was an enjoyable part of their childhood that they looked forward to. They continue to visit, along with our two grandsons. My husband sang in the community choir, at the Cobleskill Lutheran Church, with Jim for several years and enjoyed having conversations with him. Our sympathy to your family.

And to Cindy and Debbie, I send you my deepest condolences.
