James was a gracious host and friend to me. I met him through the Gateway Dulcimer Society and often visited him at his home. He always welcomed me for holiday and birthday gatherings. I will think of him often and I imagine he will be playing one of the mountain dulcimers he made himself as he joins the heavenly band.
To our neighbor and friend, Jim. Peace be with you. We will miss you. Our family was better for having had you as our neighbor and friend. God bless your journey home.
