I met "Uncle James" for the first time on Sunday, August 17th at "Biddie's" home. There was a sparkle in his eye as he talked about "old times" and golfing. I got a hug. From that short time together, I know all will miss his presence here.
May the love of friends and family give you comfort and the love of God give you peace.
