Jim, I think of you as as the tall, strong, and quiet young man who once saved me from a beating by some bullies. I knew your brother Tom.

I remember when you came home for the last time and how stoic your family was at your loss.

Our whole town turned out to honor you. May all of us who lived in Newaygo never forget your service and your sacrifice.

From a friend.
