James Alan Fetrow

It´s National Doodle Day today, dad, and we have two of the bestest doodle boys:) Although you never got to meet Moose & Rocky, I know you would have loved them and they you. They have the biggest hearts. I feel close to you when I feed our menagerie of squirrels and birds in the backyard, which is multiple times daily:) thank goodness for Costco birdseed! or when I am able to help an animal in need. Thank you for teaching me that care. Miss you always.

I didn't know Jim, but somehow I ended up with one of his bows. Simple, elegant and well-made.

I have been looking for Jim and the other members of our band, the Knight Raiders, for several years. I was saddened to learn today that Jim passed away. It breaks my heart. I have very fond memories of our short time together as band mates and friends, especially the cold, wintry day in February 1967 when we went to Edgewood Studios in Washington, D.C., to record two original songs written by Jeff and Garry Phillips. Regretfully, the band broke up a year later and I only saw Jim a few...

I think of you often dad and hope you are proud of us for the lives we have created in your absence. Miss you everyday and find joy in the little things that remind me of you, always:)

Every morning I refresh our bird bath and feed our squirrels and birds. While I do this, I think of you and all the little ways you taught me to care and be present. Love and miss you every day dad

Four years gone this year and not a day goes by when I do not think of you and remember all the silly moments! I remember how great a dancer you were and how we got to enjoy a few weddings dancing with the Fetrows:) Thanks for sharing your love of music and rhythm with us dad!
