Not sure what to say?

Hope your 2007 is peaceful.

Judy and Family,

The few times that I met James he always had a smile and joke to tell. Cherish and remember the happy times you all shared together - I am sure there are many. All my best to all of you.

James,
The last I remember seeing you was at Crab Park for a weenie roast. Also I have never forgotten a toothpick trick you did while we were having dinner at the Sea Grill in Eureka sometine in the past. Butmost of all, I remember how much your stepdaughter ,Carol, thought of you.

Judy, we are so sorry for your loss and ours also. When ever we saw Jim , he always had to stop and say hi. My husband and I used to go on the Reno trips and for sure the jokes were being told,needless to say we all had a good time.
After he retired from Reno trips, he still had stories of the casinos here in our neck of the woods.
All the coffee clubs @ the mall,that also includes McDonalds club too.No need to tell you-but he is missed by everyone-of course those casinos too. Like...

I'll remember James helping with the helium ballons launched by the 2nd graders a century ago. He was always there to help... at the Elk River field trip, too. Judy, he was special and will be missed by many. My sympathy to you.

So long Jim it has been good to know ya...

My beloved Uncle Jim taught me all the coolest puzzle games, and told me the joke that is still my favorite one to tell to this day. He was the first person to hear me curse, and he never told on me.

Every time I've introduced a friend to my family, I've always said,"Wait until you meet my Uncle Jim. He's cooler than ... ANYTHING." and everyone agreed once they had met him.

He was real, funny, stronger than most people I know, and he didn't have a pretentious bone in his body....
