Sammy -- my nickname for you that started when I was a little girl and lasted forever -- and you returned with Phyllis Diller - yours for me (most of the time you called us "Dolly" like Poppa did). Always there for your family and friends and now watching over us with Mom, Uncle Dick, Grandma, Grandpa, Rick and Steven. We will miss you very much, but so happy that you are free from pain. Love you, Sammy aka Gunny Bagger.

Jim was a person many people counted on. I will always remember when he hooked our trailer up to electricity, water and sewer In his driveway when we were waiting for our house to be built. A life saver.

We know you will be missed by the family, but those of us who have known you for a long time will miss knowing that you are there. We wouldn't have met if not for Jim and 37 years later we are still together. Thank you, Jim.
God Bless, Mel and Mary Finch

You will truly be missed, you were truly a great man, so kind, genuine and always had a great story. Thank You for everything you have taught me and your grandkids. I know more about video cameras, power tools and good ol elbow grease all because of you..lol. I am sure you will find a project in heaven and hook it up. Love you forever, and will never let the kids forget about the gibley gobblers and the gunny slackers ...much Love.
