James A. Effting

Jim has been a good neighbor to those that live around Eastside and I am shocked to learn of his passing. I had just spoken to him the day or so before he left us and he shared his usual interesting story with his outlook on life that made us all smile in his presence. He was a man who cared about his family deeply, a great American who served for his country, and a wonderful example of selfless giving of himself.

May God bless his wife Peggy, his children and his...

To Tracy and Valerie,
Even though I haven't gotten to see you or your dad for years, I have often wondered how you all were doing. I wanted to express my condolences and my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss.

My Dearest brother Jimmy,
Well, I just arrived home a few hours ago from attending your funeral. My thoughts were of you all day. Your humor, your knowledge of history and events and the closeness we had. I was so happy I had the chance to spend 3 visits with you when I was in Allentown over Memorial Day weekend,. I know when I get each issue of that Pennsylvania Magazine you purchased for me, a tear will come to my eyes.

Love you forever, your sister Georgia Anne
