He loved fishing and horses.

Kitty: Sent a message on May 13th, which apparently did not go through. We were neighbors to Jim and you, in 1966-1967, on Pine Street, in Merced. We remember Jim as being a very nice guy, and you two as a wonderful couple. We are very sorry for your loss. We would love to hear from you sometime. Our phone number is 707-544-5525.
Sincerely,
LeRoy and Janet Grandberg

I will always love you. Thank you for your consideration of this one time little girl and thank you for all the love you showed us throughout the years, family gatherings, phone calls special events and for helping me with my kids when I was in a great time of need. I love and will miss you. Everytime I see a BB gun I'll think of you and giggle ( only family will understand).
