We are sorry for your loss-- our thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember as a kid how fun it always was to come over to Jim's house and how warm and welcoming Mr. Rose--and of course Mrs. Rose--always were. Memories of your family and times together are an important part of my life. David and Suzanne Johnson

My favorite memories are of the vacations spent with Sam and Carol and the children on Lake Gage, and at your home in Fort Wayne. Too many to list. My prays are for the family at this time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the joy that was evident in the Rose household whenever I had the privilege to visit - The pool parties, the Christmas lights, the lighthearted fun. A good man!
