James Gitchel

I never met him, but I've heard stories, and seen videos, and seen pictures. He would've been a GREAT grandpa, but I do know that he was an AMAZING father. Grandpa Jim, you are missed. I know you are with the Lord, and in his perfect place. Love you.

Dear Liz and Family,

Mom sent us Jim's obituary from the Press. I was saddened to learn of his passing but comforted to know that he is now with the Lord.

May God grant you comfort in your loss and strength and courage to face the difficult days ahead.

Love in Christ,

Ken

Dear Liz & family,
Our love and prayers go out to you. While we all feel the pain & sorrow of Jim's passing, we also celebrate his life with you. Jim had a servant's heart and many lives were touched through him in the name of Christ. We pray for comfort and peace in the days ahead. God bless you.

Last year when I was laid up from neck surgery Jim called me up and asked if he could pay me a visit. All Jim wanted was to show his friendship. During school I really did not know him that well but in the hour or so he visited me I got to know Jim probably more than alot had known him. I have never met and been associated with a more compassionate loving person in my life. He will be sorely missed and loved forever. May you rest in peace .

What a wonderful person Jim was and I will always remember the kindness he showed to me when I had my cancer. He asked me if I needed any help with anything while I was going through my chemo treatments. He went out of his way to come to my father's funeral last year to express his sympathy and asked if we needed in any help.

Liz and family, Please know that I have been praying for Jim all along as he did for me. God Bless You!!!
