Oh James....you will be truly missed. Us ladies at the smoke shop loved your sense of humor, your hunting stories and bear videos!!! When you found out that I had never eaten bear meat, you didn't miss a beat and brought some to me. Yes, it was delicious!!
We lost a good one and may you watch over us all.
Much love,

God bless the remaining family members. I went to school, with Gerld, dated Judith, knew MS Geraldine. It's hard to see the whole family gone.
We lived in Woodland heights in Harrison.
May the family rest in peace.
