Not sure what to say?

Sorry to see Jim passed. I would see him at the annual alumni banquets in Freeport. My mom, Velma (Buehler) Humphrey lived next door when they were growing up, she was more his sister's age. They had lots of fun at Sugar Bush lake. Luckily, my brothers & I still have a lot there. I remember Jim as quiet, a gentleman, he enjoyed the Freeport Historical Society, which is my baby. We're trying to keep Freeport's history alive, even tho the town is getting smaller. Thank you for sending me...

Carlene it was truly an honor to have met Jim and be able to share family genealogy with him. He helped me a great deal with putting together some of the missing pieces. Our phone calls and meetings were always laughter filled. I was honored to see that you used the portrait I did of him during one of our sessions. He will truly be missed.
