Not sure what to say?

I was truely shocked to hear about Jim. I extend my deepest sympathy
to the family. Hearing of his passing brought back alot of memories
of our neighorhood. Tom and Jim lived acrossed the street from me
when we where growing up. My childhood memories of that time
are, basketball at the Becker's and Schmaus's, sleding down Harding
Hill in the winter, snowball fight's in Nye's backyard, playing horseshoe's
along Nye's house, playing Monoply under Becker's tree, Hide and...

Tom and I were best friends in high school and Jim was a distant "tag-a-long". Stund to hear. God bless and rest.

over the big bridge someday.
Save us a good spot! We love and miss you!
