James C. "Jim" Binder

I may have been best man at Jim an Patricia's wedding but Jim has always been the best man. In 7th and 8th grade Sister Damien at Saint Mary s had Jim tutor me in spelling.

It was a very special time with a man I respected admired and loved. My condolences go out to Pat and Allison you are in my thoughts....

Pat. . With sincere sympathy with JIm's passing

He was my favorite teacher when I attended CVTC in 1988. I love algebra to this day because of him.

Dearest Pat and Binder Family:

Our heartfelt condolences go out to you for the loss of your husband and family member! I will always remember your family stories, Pat, and especially of your fondness as you shared stories of your dancing partner. I am quite sure your love will always save his last dance for you - forever waiting until you join him one final time - only your dance then will be with him again, lasting forever! Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

May your many wonderful memories of joyful times together give you comfort. His was a life well lived.

We have seen Jim's talents reflected in your home, knew about his dancing days, and heard his wit and sense of humor firsthand. However, he had a rich history which we only learned about here. Our deepest condolences to the entire family and friends of this well-loved man.
