Kathy and Jim, My thoughts are with you. Memories of Glen teasing me every time I walked in your front door during our high school years, Ethyl telling me to ignore him. Sorry I couldn't be there today.

Jim, I remember seeing your dad all the time at the smoke shop when I worked at Bank of A&C. Always that big smile and some "funny" to tell me.
My family and I wish you peace in your time of sorrow.
