I will miss that ornery Great Uncle James. He was one in a million and he taught me a few colorful words that his brothers didn't. If we could just have five more mintues sitting around the table at his Momma's house.... all the stories, all the laughs, all the disagreements. He is once again reunited with siblings and his Momma and Daddy that he loves so much. We will see him again some day and I'm sure (as God made little green apples) he will have some humdinger of a story or something to tell us.

Prayers for each of you during this time.

I will miss all the stories of his casino trips. He was a great man to know for the past 30 years. Dale Potter
