Roy Lancor wrote a sympathy message

“Jim and Virginia were the very best neighbors we had in Galien! We met them in 1992 when we acquired the property across the street. Jim was our go to for information on anything related to farming and the local area. He will be missed by all of us including our now grown children whom he and Virginia saw grow up. Many memories of going over to the house for a visit every time we were up there. Glad we had an opportunity to see him this summer. Roy and Marge Lancor and Family”
