Dear Judy, Bruce and Donna,
I was saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a great man and I share the special memory of shooting my first deer with him and I’ll always remember him fondly.
I’m sorry I can’t be there today for the funeral. My thoughts are with all of you as you say goodbye.
With sincere sympathy,
Benny.
