Margeorie your family have been in my thoughts lately. So sorry to hear about Jim, I remember when he played at the cement factory. He really had the whole neighborhood shook up. So sorry I haven't seen anyone for along time but the memories are very vivid. God bless Judy Hoff Henthorn

Jim & Mike:
I can tell you that your dad was almost as much of a brother to me as my brother (David) was. Even though he was my uncle we were close enough in age that as I became a young adult we developed a brotherly relationship. I truly enjoyed every opportunity that I was able to spend time with him. We were very much alike in the sense that it was easy to be in his company without a great deal of idle chit chat but when the conversations got going it was always a contest to see which one of us had the driest sense of humor. I think in the end he probably had a slight edge but either way it was always great fun. That is except for my mother (your Aunt Marge) because if she was within shouting distance of the two of us she was usually the brunt of our sometimes sick humor. I will truly miss those times. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss and my sincere apologies that I can't be there with you today. Rest assured all of you are in my thoughts. I will truly miss your dad but I know he has a fishing pole in his hand with his golf clubs just a few feet away.
