Uncle Jim and his Sis

Jimmy and I were in the same High School graduating class. Montcalm High School, Class of 1959. He grew up in Duhring where I did also and we all attended church together at the Duhring Church of Christ. My sincere sympathy to all of his family.

Wally and I were so sad to hear about your dad's passing. He was a wonderful person in our lives, starting with the fact that he was close with my dad, NIck,in Santa Maria Boy Scouts. You girls were in our lives as babysitters, too! we are so sorry we cannot attend the services. We are leaving for Virginia on Thursday morning. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

To the family, This is Paul & Jo Ann Whitteker of Duhring, WV. Paul and Jim were first cousins. Paul’s dad Clarence and Nellie were brother/sister. Our condolences to everyone.
