In fond remembrance of James Frey:

Reflecting on the cherished memories of my youth, I found myself revisiting the days spent working alongside the Frey family at Sunset Farms. A quick search led me to the unexpected discovery of Jim Frey's obituary, and it is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest condolences.

As a teenager hailing from Ridley Park, the mention of the "Frey Farm" evokes a sense of awe and nostalgia. The Freys, an extraordinary family, left an indelible mark on me, and I formed close bonds with the Frey boys during our countless adventures at the farm. Jim Frey, in particular, stood out as an exemplar of unwavering dedication and kindness.

Jim's relentless work ethic, aimed at ensuring the success of the farm, left a lasting impression on me. I find myself admiring his commitment, wishing I could emulate his tireless spirit. My heart goes out to the entire Frey family during this difficult time, and I offer my sincerest condolences. May the memories of Jim's hard work and the joy he brought to those around him serve as a source of comfort and strength. You are in my thoughts, and I extend my sympathy to all of your families.

We just found out about the passing of your parents. So sad. Kevin was looking to see if the farm was still operational and found the obituary for your Dad. We had no idea. We would have been to the survices. Prayers to the family. What a wonderful family.
Fondly,
The Broomall family, Ridley Park, PA

Jim was an easygoing, hard-working man, who dearly loved his wife, Rita...both, of whom, are gone too soon, but, are together, again, rejoicing in their Lord´s peace and love.
Loving thoughts and prayers to all his family. Helen Killen
