My heart broke when I opened the Aiken Paper to see "JimBobs" name. I thought so much of Jim, such a great man, such a great spirit! I am saddened to lose such a dear friend.
Miss Irene....he loved you so,know his arms were open at the sight of seeing his daughter waiting in heaven for him!!!....Angie....girl...your Pawpaw was so proud of you!! He bragged about you all the time. Many hours sitting and talking at Gorham, I learned of his life, his family and how much he loved everyone!
Do you remember the tape of his graduation class he could not attend because he was sick Oh, how I cried, when I viewed it!
I am still in awe of Jim, serving his country at such a young age, and all these years later, still flying his flag! So proud to be an American!
I will miss my friend....
From my heart to yours...
