Margaret--
We're so sorry for your loss. We were away on vacation when Jim passed and I only found out Sunday after church, otherwise I definitely would have attended the service.
Jim was always fun to be near and I will always remember him cracking a joke or telling stories about years ago and of course about his fishing adventures and the one that got away.
He certainly fought the good fight and is now with God in paradise.
Our deepest heart felt sympathies go out to you.

Dear Margaret & family:
So very sorry to hear of the passing of Jim. Andy & I always enjoyed Jim's dry sense of humor. I was so happy to see him at Emmanuel's basket bingo. My daughter, Jill, was also saddened at hearing of the loss of Jim. He also had fun with the children at church & the kids all loved him. As fellow dog lovers - - we know that Jim is running in heaven with all the "pups" in his life and of course, fishing. With deepest sympathy & prayers,
Love,
Patti & Andy Wight & Jill Kaplan

It has been such a long time since I had any communication with Jimmy. I remember him best for water skiing on the Lake Wallenpapak in The Pocono Mts. in the 1950's. That was the last time I had seen Jimmy. May he rest in Peace and may the family remember him for all his love. God Bless
