Debbie misses you and loves you so much

Debbie, My sister Lucy just discovered your obituary of Jim today, and sent me a copy. I am stunned and very saddened. I am very sorry to have lost touch with you both and to have missed hearing your stories over the years. Jim is a strong, happy memory of my growing up. I love his sense of humor. And I miss you both.
Love, Diana (Ruth Simmons's daughter: Boo)

Debbie, I'm sorry I was unable to make the service for Jim. You are in my thoughts daily. It sounds like Jim made his mark on the world and forever changed the lives of those he met for the better; humans, animals and insects alike! A guenuine legacy of love and action.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in your time of sorrow. May your fond memories be your comfort in the days ahead; until you meet again. Scott Laney and family

I had the privilege of working with Jim from 1984-1991 at York County. On my first day on the job Jim told me that I had the second best job in the County. When I asked who had the best job he answered, Me!

What a beautiful tribute! I'm grateful to have known Jim and will miss his quiet presence. May Debbie find comfort in all the people that loved them both.

We, Jim's colleagues in the mosquito control world, will miss him very much. His intelligence and wit always made regional meetings more interesting and his unconventional way of thinking kept us open to new ideas. It is so sad to lose such a unique personality and good friend. My heart goes out to Debbie and the rest of his family. We have all lost one of a kind.

Debbie, My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family. Being Ray's sister, Beverly kept us informed about his sickness. From reading the obit, it sounds like he was a very busy man. I'm sure he will be missed. Please know that you will be in my prayers. Love, Betty Blanchard Rooks

We will miss Jim. He was such an interesting man. He truly filled his life with variety. Our hearts are with you in this sadness.
