JAMES WILLIS TOWNSEND

What a beautiful obituary! James sounds like a very special person.

Jim was a good man, a great athlete and a talented musician. Some of my best memories are playing with Jim in the Blueberry Tricycle.

It was sad to see him stricken so young.

Rock on, and RIP

Dave ... Your fond memories of Jim are most appreciated. I only wish I could have been at the church dance, and have heard him jam there. Jim was so very talented in so many ways. He is dearly missed.

Jim was a great friend as well as a brother. He suffered so much yet he never once complained. He will always be remembered for his kind, gentle and generous spirit. For saying very little, he often said so much and seemed to understand people. Jim was a special gift and I will always miss him.

Jim was a good man, talented athlete and musician. We were all devestated when his mental illness took over, early in his life.

I have many fond memories of our years together, but none better than when we played in the Blueberry Tricycle together. It was a blast, that ended too soon.

RIP.

Wow....Jim, you were on my baseball team in the mid 1970's...I knew your band, because you played for a dance at the Sand Point Methodist Church, and I knew your brother Lew from baseball and jazz band. RIP my friend....
