Grandpa I'm sorry if I ever let you down or did something that you were ashamed of, I hope you still love me. I just want to run up ang hug you one last time. You have no idea how much I miss you. I feel bad that you can't be there with us for the holidays. I really wish you could me my amazing boyfriend, Max. Grandma, mom, and Bob like him, and I think you would have too. I love you Grandpa just always know that. Good-Bye.

Ruth & Family,



I want to extend our deepest sympathy on your loss. I heard them mention Jim's name at mass last Sunday at St Mary's and didn't want to believe it. I'll miss bumping into the two of you on your morning walks and our short but very treasured conversations. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

We want to thank you for being part of out lives. May peace come to both Ruth and Jim. You are both very loved. Love Patty and Neil.

Dear Aunt Ruth,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids during this difficult time. We will always fondly remember harassing Uncle Jim while he played breakfast chef for us during all of our visits and laughed at us as we shared our plate, cup, fork, napkin, etc. Although our times together were short, Uncle Jim created a tall space in our hearts. Love, Laura & Maurice

We will always remember Jim for his wonderful sense of humor and they way he loved to joke and tease with everyone. He had a heart of gold. God must have needed a partner to help with a special carpentry project and he knew Jim was the best. He leaves behind so many of his beautiful creations that will be cherished as we look upon them with love and remembrance. He is loved and will be missed by us all.
