James M. Dyke Sr.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Mrs. Dyke, Jim , John, Joanne & Jan

I just found out today about Jim, your dad today, which happens to be my dads Hugo (Hooks) Kremer's birthday.

I have a lot of good menories of Jim in my early years and I want you all to know that my dad thought, as you all know a lot about him.

My brother Terry said that Jim was out at Villa Marie, so when my wife Karen and I were there a month ago we made it a point to visited with Jim and I told him that I was Tom Kremer and the first words out of his mouth were - Tommy Kremer which made me feel great that he knew who I was.

All the fond memories will remain with me forever and may his soul rest in peace - Amen

Tom Kremer

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My husband and I always seen your husband/father for years walking on West Dunklin on our way to and from work each day. He reminded me of my own father and it wouldn't surprise me if he knew my father, Joe Dudenhoeffer originally from Frankenstein. We had always wanted to stop by to visit with him. We now regret that we didn't. We can only imagine he had some stories to tell just like my father did. We will think of him probably every work day while we're on Dunklin Street. Just remember you will always think of him. He is in God's loving care and may that lessen your sorrow.

My daughter Beth and I waved at your father many times as he walked nearly everyday. Beth went to Munichburg festival and was impressed with the artistry of one of the sons (unsure as to which). I noticed he had not been seen walking and am saddened that he will not be here walking as I have seen in the past. He is instead with God and His Son, and I am sure he is walking with them. The neighbors of Mr. Dyke. Beth, Chris, Kristyne and Marilyn Schroer-Stuckenschneider.

We are very sorry to learn of your farher's death. May God be with you in your loss.

I met Jim in 1974 when I started working at Missouri Farm Bureau. He was one of the kindest people I have ever known. My deepest sympathy to each of you.
