Mr. Dunlap,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and secondly for the citizens of Massachuesetts when you served as a Law Enforcement Officer. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Jim will be remembered with fondness by all of the Gray family.
To our parents he was a good neighbor but more importantly he was good friend. Go with God my good man.
