Jim was a really great guy. I spent a lot of time with Him and Anne when I worked at Wintergreene and they were two of my favorite people, so very sorry for your loss.

Marilyn, Doug and family, I was so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I have such wonderful memories of them through Sunset United and our family connections. Your dad was a truly good and kind man. It is nice to think of your mom and dad being back together. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
