James W. "Red" Branch

I will always remember Red when he and Evelyn and Joan and I raised our family's during times that seemed more simple and where everyone helped each other. I particularly recall Red's Garage Roof Party when all of Red's friends were installing a new garage roof for Red and it slowly collapsed with the weight of everyone and the laughs we had.

Red was a good person. Surely his soul is in the hand of God.

Jim was always a positive man, quick with a smile, laugh or words of kindness.
I remember him as part of the Woman's Life employee family for many years, playing Santa and always offering a helping hand.
Thinking of you Evelyn and the entire Branch family.

my mother Frances Samuelson Manning was friends with Jim and Evelyn many years ago when we lived on Erie Street in Port Huron ,I remember them very well It was probably in the late 40s,If my memory is right they stayed at our house for a while.After they moved up by the lake,we used to go visit them.Evelyn andfamily please accept our sympathy for your loss.Jim lived a full life, My greatgranddaughters name is Evelyn Frances !!
