For a number of years, Jim and I were on the same ice cream social "circuit," and he would tease me at every one about bringing him a bag of money from the government. I loved to see him! What a nice, funny man!

Rest in Peace, "Pa" You will live in our hearts forever.. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8
So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
We know you are home and present with the Lord... We love you
