I knew Jim and Jeannie from our Marine Corps service at 2nd Radio Bn at Camp Geiger. I was young, single and enjoyed an open invitation to their home, where I visited many times. I´m sorry to learn of their passing. My sincere condolences.

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We have been friends for som many years going back to grammar school at St. Francis and then on to COHS. I still remember the family business and the weekly delivery of eggs to my parent's house. Will truly miss his presence next year at the 50th reunion. Prayers to the family for peace and understanding.
