Johnny, Jim, Billy and Sandy & families,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am in Arizona helping with my Grandkids and can't be there to extend my deepest sympathies.
You are such a great family and it has been so nice enjoying the growing up of our kids at the same time. Hope it will help a little bit to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Eventhough time has passed and we don't cross paths much anymore we in my family all think so much of your family. Jim had so much to be proud of.
Always in our thoughts and prayers.

I work with Bill, James' son. Bill often attested to the family devotion James had for his family, particularly Bill and his sons. I'm sorry I never had the opportunity to meet James, but I know his memory will live on through the very positive influence that he had on his son and grandchildren. God will bless your family because of your life.

Mrs. Luther, Sandy, Jim & Bill (& families):
In case I don't make it to Uniontown for the calling hours--I was so saddened to hear the news. We will always remember your dad walking back and forth from the house to his garage--always working on something!
I miss you all very much and cherish the old days--a much simpler time of life--and I get bits and pieces of news about you all through the "grapevine" from time to time. It is hard to believe that so many years have passed us by--we are all old now, aren't we?!!
My thoughts are with you all and your families as you go through this terrible loss. I hope everyone is strong and healthy -- I love you all!
Leslie (still Ezzie B*** to some of you!)

Dear Luther Family, I Worked with
Jim at Alsides from 1959 to 1969.
Jim was a very honest man and was not afraid to express his beliefs.
May God Bless all of the family in this time of sorrow.
With Deep Regret
