Dear Mary, Marge, Dick and Jack,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Jim's passing. Although several years ahead of me in school, Jim was always one of those guys the younger fellows admired and emulated while growing up.
Jim was popular in high school, active in sports and a pretty good dancer at those country club dances in the old log cabin clubhouse. And he had that million dollar smile no one could forget!
I know he was a fine son and brother. And he will be missed by you and by his wife, children and others. And by all who knew him.
Our prayers are with each of you during this time of grief.
God bless,
Kim Andereck and family
San Antonio, TX

Hello Marge, Jack, Dick, and Family Members,
What a shock to read about Jim this morning. I'm still in shock @ nearly 3:00 pm. The the news brought back so many good memories of knowing all of you and knowing how much the friendship of Joe and Mary met to Dorothy & Herb.
Jim certainly had a varied career. I hear from my few Trenton contacts that he took really good care of Mary these last few years.
I am not sure if I like the e-mail notice and web-based condolences or not. Certainly we got the news and could share it with friends and classmates. Since I don't have any of your mailing addresses, am glad for this opportunity to express my sympathy.
On behalf of Dorothy and our family in California and Arkansas, we are so sorry for your loss.
