My thoughts are with you today. I have such great memories of your house growing up.
There was a lot of fun to be had at your house and he was right in the middle of it. A ride on the side of the blue bug was the highlight of a lot of afternoons.

God Bless.

Mrs Call,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Jim and I worked in South Boston in the 60's. He was a good man and a great friend.
The world has lost a kind and gentle man.

Dear Gert and Family:

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Jim is someone that I always remember when recalling my childhood. What a kind and gentle soul. He always entertained us and "The Call House" was one of the houses we dreaded yet loved to go to on Halloween. Truly a fun and loving man!

May you find peace and comfort in the words many will convey and may God continue to hold you during this difficult time.

Warmest Regards,

Debbie (Dempsey) Brown
