Dear Kohl family & friends, I am saddened to know that James has passed away. His mother, Florence, was my grand dad's sister.....George Samuel Behm, along with her sister, Bessie Behm Weaver. My grandma was Grace Behm, James's Aunt. I loved visiting his mother's home with grandma Grace. Please accept my most sincere sympathy on your loss. With love and sympathy, Linda Gresh Ferraro ~
