My father(Henry Bates JR.) grew up on a farm owned by Jims father. My dad use to say that even as a child: he never said an unkind word about anyone. He will be missed.

We were so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. What a special man he was! Our memories, though, of time spent with the Oswald family are alive and well..Fourth of July's at your farm, a camping trip and just the simple impromptu gatherings will always be cherished and remembered. Our parents shared a wonderful friendship for many years, and we are so grateful to Penny, who brought Jim so much happiness in recent years. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Penny, James, Christine, Cliff, Donna, Julie, Melissa, Christa and Elizabeth,
A great husband,dad, grandfather and friend has gone home to the awesome God he so faithfully served. Our condolences to all of you as you grieve the loss of this great man. We have so many memories over the years, especially of sitting around the kitchen table on the farm, laughing, crying and playing many jokes on one another. We were so privileged to have called Jim and Julia friends for so many years, and then Penny who took us in too because she knew how much we loved that family. We are so sorry that we are unable to be with you as we were with you when Julia passed but know that we hold you in prayer as you live through these days. We watched Jim develop and grow into such an amazing, loving and compassionate person. He will be sorely missed in this time and place, but he is where he desires to be and now lives life fully. We were blessed to call him friend. Now he is being welcomed home.
Our love and prayers, Sister Helen and Sister Jodi
