Karen, I am so sorry. I just today heard about Jim and Sharon. I can't even imagine what you have gone through. Deb and I were just talking about your Dad. He was one of the nicest classiest men we've ever known. I can't think of you your dad and Sharon without remembering the great times we had playing tennis. God Bless

I was so sad to hear of Jimmie's passing, I didnot know of Hortensia and Sharon's passing either. My heart goes out to all of the family. Bob and he were such good friends for may years and we all 4 enjoyed many good times together when we lived in Yuma.

To the Duron Family,
I worked with your Dad many years ago at the Health Dept. And when I visited my parents in Yuma, we would go see him at the hospital when he was volunteering. He was so much fun to work with, always kept us laughing. My daughter was a preschooler at the time and she always called him "The Doctor". God's blessing to all the family.
