“Ellen, Shelia, Jim and family, We just read of the passing of Jim. We are so sorry we didn’t see it earlier. We would have attended the memorial service. We have fond memories of you, Jim and your family in Frankfort and the Keys. We saw the pride he had in his Jim & Michael with prize fish. What wonderful memories he left with you and the others he loved. Take care and let your family and memories sustain you in this time of grief. With sincere condolences, Fred & Carolyn Neubauer”
