Dear Sandra and Family

A very special Joy in your life has been taken Home. May your love and memories always keep him near.

We had so many great times with Jim.
The fun when we went to Whitehorse,the
experiences we had in Vancouver, the laughs we shared in Phoenix celebrating
the American Thanksgiving in our own
unique way, the many nites playing
canasta and all the times Walt and many other hobby flyers had at the flying field will be fond memories always.

We shall miss our dear friend,his heart of gold and the wonderful guy
Jim was to all.

Our Love and Thoughts are with you.

Love Gloria and Walt
