Appreciation: James Dennis

This week our family and our community lost a gentle soul with the passing of James Dennis.

“Jim,� as he was known by many, lived an unobtrusive life filled with meaning and love for his family. He adored his girls, Denise and Nicole, and his great-grandson, Mason, was the apple of his eye.

To our family, he was a quiet force; he was always there when needed. He was the best man at my parents’ wedding. One of my fondest memories is the blinding snowstorm that arrived the day of my 7th birthday party.

My Dad and Uncle Jim took off in Dad’s truck and rounded up every child for my party! What a marvelous day that was.

My uncle was an accomplished carpenter, who built and worked on many homes in our area. His craftsmanship will be one of the legacies he leaves behind.

Uncle Jimmy: Roxanne, Joanne, Colleen, Dad, Mom and I will miss you terribly. May our lord watch over you, bless you and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
