James Lakes

Poppa Jim, I cried because you passed.But have to laugh when I think of some of the memories we shared.You were a good friend to alot of people.I"m so thankful to have gotten to hear that laugh and see you smile at the campground during my visit to Ohio.I love you ,Lizzy!

It is with much sadness to say farewell to such a younghearted man. It was great to meet him here in Sarasota at Steve and Linda's home. I hope stories of him will continue forever for they always place a smile on my heart. Much love and hugs to you during your time of sadness.

Please accept my deepest condolences at this very difficult time for your family. I have enjoyed meeing Mr. Lakes and spending a little time with him at Linda and Steves home. I had just bought a new convertable and took him for a spin in it. He always asked me to go again whenever I saw him. It was such a privelage to know him briefly.

I loved the paw-paw too. He was a special man who was loved greatly by his family. I feel lucky to have witnessed this family's love for their father over the last 10-15years here in FLA. I will be looking for your sign, paw-paw. Love and kisses forever.

Sure will miss this old fart. Had a lot of good times with him.He was one of the best.
