I am very sorry to here of Jim's passing. Jim was a great friend growing up and I have many memories of playing pickup basketball together and shooting hoops at his house. With my deepest sympathy, Jeff Watson Alma High School class of 1981

Bette,
My heart goes out to you and your family at this difficult time.
You may not remember me but you were my 7th and 8th grade teacher at Walling school in Shepherd. You were one of my favorites. I remember going to your apartment at CMU and your husband had painted baby feet on one of the interior doors using the side of his hand and his finger tips for toes.
May God give you the strength to you through this very sad time.

So sorry to see this today. Mom and Dad were up this past weekend for my youngest's graduation and they mentioned they had heard this. Jim was a great person to grow up with - as all the Studebaker boys were very special to me and my family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family.
