Condolence: We have lived next to James an Doris for 27 Years. They were like second grandparents to our children. I so admired James and his cheerfulness. Always working in his yard and whistling while he worked. Always willing to help out when we needed something. We will certainly miss him.

Condolence: I lived across the street from James and Doris for over 11 years. They were both the best neighbors anyone could ever have. James always knew when someone wasn't suppose to be at our house when we were not home or at work and would be the first to whistle across the street to let us know as soon as we got home... We had many afternoon talks out on his porch and I watched the last few years before I moved a man I just hope one day my husband can be if I ever get sick. It was a challenge and Mrs. Doris would give him heck but he never had an angry side he would always just agree and help her.... My son is now 10 and James watched him grow up and taught him things in the yard and was always so happy to see Michael run over to say hi or show him something.. Michael called me Thursday when I was out of town just crying he said mom Mr James went to heaven I will never forget him. James you will forever be remembered by my family you were one amazing man and I know Doris was so happy to have the love of her life join her up in heaven...

Love Always

Condolence: My grandfather has passed away. But I do not fear for him. Because he lived his life with God in his heart. One of my final memories of him is of him sitting in his rocker reading his Bible. Natalie Orr

Condolence: I am going to miss you Papa. But find comfort that you are no longer in pain and that someday we will see you again. Amanda Ferguson

Condolence: My favorite memory is that Pop was always willing to fix something. Even if it wasn't broke and you said it needed to be fixed he would fix it.... Greg DeLano

Condolence: Pop was always the picture of patience.... I accidently flushed the keys down the toilet when we were up at the cabin....We only had the one set of keys with us.... He patiently dug up the septic tank, not finding the keys... he took the toilet apart to find the keys trapped in the bowl... his response.... "Well, I needed to check out the septic tank anyway"..... Theresa Delano

Condolence: James was always a special person. Yes, like most of us, he had some rough edges. The last four years of his life, he was my defender, my encourager, giver of comfort and my CHAMPION. In the midst of this he took care of Mother who had Alzheimer. I do not believe even a Registered Nurse could have taken better care of Mother. James lived his wedding vows, "for better or worse, in sickness or health" God gave James wisdom every step of the way. IF you know someone with Alzheimer's please share this poem with them.

AN ALZHEIMER POEM

Do not ask me to remember
Don’t try to make me understand
Let me rest and know you’re with me
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand
I’m confused beyond your concept
I am sad and sick and lost
All I know is that I need you to be
With me at all cost
Do not lose your patience with me
Do not scold or curse or cry
I can’t help the way I’m acting
Can’t be different though I try
Just remember that I need you
That the best of me is gone
Please don’t fail to stand beside me
Love me till my life is done
