THE MEASURE OF A MAN: Not - "how did he die" But - "how did he live" Not - "what did he gain" But - "what did he give" These are the units To measure the worth Of a man, as a man, Regardless of birth.

While growing up, I always remember what Jim gave: his time, love, happiness, fellowship, and his sense of humor. Always loved, always remembered.

Mrs. Muting, I was so sad to hear of Mr. Muting's passing. My heart goes out to you. He was such a wonderful man. Just like the patron saint of barbers, Saint Martin de Porres, Mr. Muting lived a life of charity helping those in need and doing whatever task that needed to be done. He was so helpful and good to my Mom and Dad, especially as my Dad became more ill. And he always had a hug and smile for me. I send you prayers of peace and comfort.

August 24, 2015

Margie; Bob and I understand these moments of sorrow..what can one say, but I am sorry and will pray for you during these trying times...my dad once asked me while he was dying...why is this happening to me...I answered...dad, we all have our time and this is yours your faith will sustain you...Phyllis

We always remember Jimmy as being happy, fun and a good talker about everything. We loved being with him and every time we were together we remember how he loved telling stories about Uncle Ralph and the crazy things he did. Ann and I will really miss him.
