James M. Snelling

Dear JoAnne and family I just heard through my son Daniel Wrate that our Uncle Jim passed away. My Condolences to all of you. Will keep you in my prayers. Bless all of you, it has been a pleasure knowing you and Jim when I was married to Lonnie. I really enjoyed when Jim would hear a bird and tell me what it was, I loved that about him. He always made me smile whenever I heard his name.
Take care thinking of you at this time in need. Susan (Wrate) Marihugh

Dear Cousins, sorry for the loss a a great man. I have so many fond memories of family get togethers growing up, and many great pictures that Jim took of all of the family. He will be missed greatly. Sorry that I am unable to come home, but my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.

Aunt JoAnne, Susan, Sandy, Mike and all of your families, I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Jim will live in my heart forever. I love you all.

We are surprized to see the passing of Jim, or should I say Ranger Jim, as we just saw him on 3 ABN last week. We will never forget the telling story of the brick from the Dime Taberncle up at Camp AuSable a few years ago. I believe the regular speaker was unable to come and Jim filled in and kept us spell bound for a inspirational evening. He was a very special man, and will be long remembered.

Dear Joanne, Susan, Sandy, Mike and your families. My, how we will miss Jim. Seems he is just a major part of EVERYONE's life!! We love you all and sending a hug for each of you. (I'd like to add a line in here from Ken Kane also. He is in a nursing home and when I told him about Jim he said "That makes me sad!!") Much love and sympathy. Bob & Virginia Kane

Dear Joanne and family; We are so shocked to learn of Jim's death. He will be greatly missed. His contribution to our youth and their understanding of nature and God's working were great gifts and we remember him with love and affection.
You are in our prayers. Joyce and Lee Wilson
