Jim was a good friend to the Keystone Retriever Club. If he was available he came out to work the hunt test & he also ran his golden. He also came to the monthly training sessions. He will not only be missed by his family but by his extended Keystone family. May his soul rest in peace.

We are all sad to learn of Jim’s passing. He was a true friend and mentor to those of us who work with field dogs. He will be sorely missed in the fields and grounds on which we work. We are all better off for having known Jim. God bless!

To Sue and Family, So sorry to read of Jim’s passing, it is truly a loss for sure. He was a great co-worker at RRD and we had a lot of laughs. He was a great neighbor and River Corner Road has lost a good one. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during these trying times. Denny Oberholtzer

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirthof sun-split clouds,-and done a hundred thingsYou have not dreamed of-wheeled and soared and swungHigh in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flungMy eager craft through footless halls of air….Up, up the long, delirious, burning blueI’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy graceWhere never lark nor ever eagle flew-And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trodThe high untrespassed sanctity of space,Put out my hand, and touched the face of God
