Jim and Edna were my neighbors. Our children grew up together and Jim was very involved in their sports playing. My sincere condolences to the Rickling family. Jim will be missed but never forgotten.

It has been such a pleasure living so near Jim and Edna. Jim was such a cheerful fellow - always upbeat and happy to see you and share a good story. Edna has been such a strong support to Jim, their family, and friends. They have has such a strong, committed union for 66 years and are testament to making a marriage work by putting each other and family first. Your smile and good nature will surely be missed, Jim. But we will always picture you happy and eager to greet friends on our street....
