"My Uncle James was one of a kind. He absolutely loved playing jokes on you and scaring his little nephews out of their wits. And we loved it! We travelled to the farm in Thola often with our parents when we were growing up. After James moved to Trumann I was always excited when I would learn he had come back for the weekend because that meant we were going to have fun. Usually Uncle Cecil and our Grandpa Passmore would join James to make sure we had a ball. To Randy and family I know you will miss the wit and fun that James created. We will be praying that the Lord will comfort you in this difficult time.
