Angie,

I often think of you and Jim. I'm so sorry to find this today. He was a very sweet man and I miss seeing you both at The Vape Shop. I want you to know that It was a real honor meeting you two.

I don't think I'll ever forget the first time you guys came into the shop. Looking for the "fema" (fuma) cartridges that Jim enjoyed.

I am so glad that y'all came back after I told you that I was sorry, we didn't carry them but I would make it my mission to cater and offer a way to help satisfy him with what we could offer here.

Later on, I remember bumping into you both in the parking lot on a Saturday when you two were bringing me a beautiful bird house that he had made. Ive had such an appreciation for that and I've admired it ever since.

Thank you again for all the plants you and Jim so kindly brought to me. I also enjoy them daily.

My emotions ran high when I last saw you guys in late March & heard the news. I struggled and felt it necessary to apologize to every customer that came in after. I haven't stopped praying since that day.

And my prayers are with you now, too. I'm very sorry that I'm learning of this so long after. You two will always be some of my most favorite customers and I just had to tell you that. He certainly had the loveliest wife and he will truly be missed.

Angie, if there is ever, anything I can do, please don't hesitate to stop by. I would love to see you, sweet lady.


My deepest condolences
Hugs & kisses

Dear Angie

Sorry to hear the passing of Jimmy.

I will always remember your wedding and how Ron and myself played a role in that special day.

We did not stay in touch which happens when the parents are gone, and everyone moves away. I often wondered where you and Jimmy were.

The Rutman family and my family the Swoyer's had great times when we were all young.
Miss those days.

Again sorry for you loss and will be thinking of your family.

June (Swoyer) and Ron Giancarlo

Daddy,

This has been very hard for me to sign. The tears flow down my cheeks, None of us, were ready to let you go.... But you are at peace now and in no more pain. I wish I could hear " I love you too, Baby" just one more time. I want to say so much to you but you've already know how much I love you and how proud I am to be your daughter. We've always had a special father & daughter bond that I'm going to miss. I will miss our talks and us laughing about the silliest stuff.. I want to thank you for being a loving, caring, wonderful father.
You were always there for us girls.

Please watch over mom from above, I know she is hurting inside. Your the love of her life.


Say hello to everyone up there.

I love you and miss you.

Pop Pop,
I love you so much. I am filled with regret and guilt. I'm sorry I didn't call you enough or come see you more often. I should've realize then that my time with was so precious. I took our time for granted. I cry almost everyday thinking about you. I think about our happy times and think about how much you were hurting and it breaks my heart. You are pain free now and I hope you keep watching over us. Mommy misses you a lot too. Again, I love you more than you could've ever imagined. I will always keep you with my in spirit.

To the Rutman clan, you all have my sincerest condolences. Jimmy and I were classmates at Sheridan Elementary School. He and his sisters were my friends. 59 years ago, Jimmy took me to Hanover Acres - when it was just rocks and hills and trees and showed me a family of baby garter snakes that he found under a rock. That was the first time I ever saw a garter snake and I will never forget it, or him. R.I.P. my old friend, Roger.

Dad, I miss and love you so much. More then you know. All I do is think about you and all of our times. You are always in my heart, and will never be forgotten. I cry dad, alot. I'm sorry that I do. Just cause I miss you so much, I'm hurting without you. I know it's selfish to say and think that I wish you were still here, I want n need you here. But I am a big girl and I know my daddy is no longer suffering in pain. And I am happy to know that you are at peace, and the pain n suffering is gone. And you are with family and the fur-babies. Daddy, no worries we will take care of mom. She's strong as an ox, but your each other'S rock and soulmate. She loves n misses you extremely, we all do. But you know that. But dad, watch over mom and protect her and keep her safe from illness and harm. I'll see you in my dreams, n think of you everyday. I have so much to say, but you already know. I'll see you daddy, I miss you. I love you.
Love,
Jamie Rutman
