Although I’m sorry to hear of the passing of my Uncle Jim, I’m deeply thankful for the more than 60 years of memories I have of him. He was always a pleasure to be around, even when I was the kid trying to steal his recliner during the football games after the annual Thanksgiving Feast at the Moore house! I’ll always remember those great family times, and how he was such a great example of a life lived well.
You will be missed by so many hearts. Some that know you well and some that didn’t. Your memories will live on in those hearts. My condolences for the family in this sadden time. Our thoughts are with them as the days pass.
I’m so saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a great father in law and a great friend. The stories i could tell of him. Great memories that will never be forgotten. Our prayers are with you Cathy.
