Dear Ceil, Sharon, Jimmy, Michael, Robert, and family,
I wish to extend my deepest and heart-felt sympathy to you all. I consider myself very blessed to have known Dr. for so many years. His kindness and gentle spirit touched so many lives through his practice and personal life. I am so glad that I got to see him last year while your family was vacationing in Ocean City NJ. He was like a second father to me as I spent so much time with Sharon in your home and he always took such good care of me as my Doctor.
I pray that God will give you strength and carry you through this difficult time.
With Love and respect,
Linda Norbury Petrill

Dear Ceil and family,
Our hearts are so sad at the loss of Jim, your dear husband, father, and grandfather.
To us, he was our dear neighbor, who always had a smile on his face and a hug to be given and received.
We always delighted in his visits at neighborhood gatherings, and his walks to the mailbox. He would always stop to visit and see what project was going on in our garage.
He will be dearly missed.
Our love, Karyn & Robert
