James Garner wrote a sympathy message

“Your dad and mom were great neighbors to us in Bayou George. We have never known someone who was on a mission to keep their property precise at all times. Memories are so important so we want to share this one. One day Mr. Otts saw my daughter and I sitting on top of our car. He came over and asked if everything was ok. We told him a snake came in our house. He grabbed a garbage can and went inside to help James catch that snake and save our day!”
