James Ake

Another year since you´ve been gone, Thank God for memories to call upon. You are remembered and revered, my friend. RIP, until we meet again.

Dear Family and Friends of Jim Ake: so long as he is remembered by those still alive, he remains alive as well. Please know that he is very much alive in my memories and heart. One of the most extraordinary men I have had the good fortune of knowing and growing with in this lifetime, Rest in eternal peace, my friend.

Another year of missing you, my friend, and still my collective memories of you are vivid and alive. 79 years of life and you remain the brightest mind of my life´s experience. How extraordinary is that? Still love and miss you my friend. RIP.

Dear Family and Friends of Jim Ake, As the anniversary of Jim´s passing on my birthdate approaches again, I need you all to know how much his/our memories remain as clear as a photo of New York´s Twin Towers in my mind, heart, and soul. Since love is a requirement of grieving, and because I still grieve his loss, please know how much he was loved by so many. May God continue to bless your lives with each other.

As Smokey Robinson sang at his friend´s funeral: "Still miss you my buddy, still miss you, my friend."

Dear Family and Friends of Jim Ake:
Another year and another opportunity to let you know that Jim remains vibrantly alive and etched into my daily activities and thoughts. That one human being could continue so vividly to be affectionately remembered after only four years of high school and the distant passage of nearly six decades of physical absence, should clearly underscore the impact his life has made on countless others. I still miss you, my friend.

To Lois, Kevin, Kim, and Family members:
Jim was one of the best friends I ever had the serendipitously good fortune of having known for a brief four years of high school. He was the brightest human being I have ever known, and half of my vocabulary was contributed to by his father and him. I have vicariously followed his career and life from a distance, but I have never lost my love and admiration for this unbelievable man. I only learned of his death when my Christmas card was returned...

May you rest in Peace, Jim. I will always remember you.

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and Jehovah our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm for every good deed and word. 2 Thess. 2:16,17 B.T. Ga.
