Dear Gerry and all the family, we are so sorry to hear this news about James. Heard he was having surgery and there was great concern. I have just had a knee replacement and was in the hospital. I am so sorry for your loss, as I remember James mowing my parents yard and he was always busy. Alas we all know, this continued into his adult life. Please accept our deepest sympathy at this most difficult of times.
