Jim was a anchor at West Swamp Mennonite and a terrific auctioneer. With a huge smile and a twinkle in his eye, he once told me he was glad when I would come to a sale as I always paid high prices. The light has surely dimmed in Milford Township by his passing.

I got to know Jim when I went to many of his auctions and he always had a smile and had time to talk. abit I lived in Richlandtown for many years and attended many of his sales.

TO: Mrs. Mohr and Family:

I am saddened to hear of Jim's passing, and I extend sincere sympathy to all of you. I have known Jim since I was a little girl, and he was our Raleigh Man. When I became an adult and worked for a local newspaper, years later, he was one of my advertisers with his auction ads. What a great
reconnection.

I pray for God to bring comfort and peace to all of you as you begin this journey without him. Blessings, Jacque Holliday

Dear Lisa and family!
We continue to pray for each one. James must have been a great man based on knowing Lisa for the past 20+ years. I am thankful James served the Lord Jesus Christ. Lisa has shared over the years how much she loved her dad (and mom).
God Bless,

I have fond memories of Jim and my mom (Marion Unangst) talking and laughing for hours when Jim came to the house selling Raleigh products. I am not sure that he sold much, but they had a good time. It seemed like he was always laughing and smiling. What a great way to live and what a great example to others. My sympathy to the family. May you feel God's love surrounding you at this sad time.

I am glad that I had an opportunity to work with Jim when he was an auctioneer at Quakertown Live Stock. He was always out going an had a good sence of humor.

My father and I were frequent auction attenders and always enjoyed joking with Jimmy.
Sincere condolences,
