James Eckles

To Jim's family- He was a great shipmate and a great friend. Sorry to hear of his passing. I served with Jim on the USS Cochino and he was a great guy and I came back with him to New London. A great friend. George A. Wendt Selinsgrove, Pa.

To Jim's Family,
He was truly a "Shipmate". Rest your oar Jim. We have the watch.

Dear Sue,
I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. It is so hard losing someone you have spent basically your whole life with - I know - I lost my husband, Paul, almost 3 years ago.
Please let me know when the burial services will be at Beaufort National Cemetery.

Sue and Debbie,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hate to see Jim go. You all have treated me like family since the moment we met and Jim always remembered me though we had only met a few times. I'll miss hearing him serenade Sue at parties and telling those colorful tales that made us all laugh. Jim was such a Dear and he will be greatly missed.

Please know that y'all are in my thoughts and I hope you'll draw strength from the many friends who will be thinking of you...
