Doris and family--Fran and I are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Abie. He was truly a friend for as long as I can recall. He went through his life without making any enemies and that is a wonderful tribute. He was a good husband and father.
We shall always have fond memories of his humor and quick wit. We are currently in Florida or would be there in person. God Bless Tom Howard

Dear Doris and family. I am sorry for your loss. I never got to know Jim well but on the few occasions we were together while I was in michigan we always had a pleasent conversation. He was easy to like and talk with.
