Not sure what to say?

James Kerr served his country well. I knew Jimmy for the past 4 years and I knew only what I saw and what we talked about. I am 20 years his junior and I served 18 months in the US Army in Viet Nam-1970-71. We talked of his grandsons who were officers in the Marine Corps and Navy and he was as proud of my 2 girls who retired from the Army this past Christmas as I was. Jimmie maintained his military bearing and immediate respect from those of us who met him. He lived it fully and his way. ....

Sorry for the loss of your love one, may you find comfort in knowing that those who have passed on in death God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:15.

It's been our pleasure to have known Jim for many
years. He and my dad (Dick Smith) were best friends and quite
the team act. They were very funny. Our condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

Jim and family, it has been an honor and a great pleasure to have had Dad in my life what a wonderful man he was. A true Patriot that led an interesting long life. He was Always the life of the party, happy, helpful, and loving to all his family and friends. He has raised wonderful children and I am so happy to have been a part of his journey and part of this family. May God Bless this entire family he loved you all very much. Dad we will miss you dearly may you Rest In Peace We Loved you...

To the Kerr Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Jimmy's family. He was a dear friend and real Southern gentleman whom will be missed by many of us here in the Sun Lakes community. Dale and Joyce Switzky
