I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of grief!
To the family of James:
My name is Bart Connors and I visited your father on a weekly basis for the last 3 or 4 years.
The last time I saw James was mid February right before my wife and I left for Argentina. While in Argentina I called him twice. Once I returned in early April I talked to him several times on the phone because as you know there were no visitors allowed in nursing homes.
I did not find out that James had passed away until this morning. I call for him yesterday and they told me that James’ family took him home recently. On a hunch I looked at the obits this morning and found his obituary notice.
My condolences to all of you. James was very proud of all of his children. Each time I visited he would keep me up to date of his family. Even the vacations you had with him to the Northwest part of the US. He was quite the talker. I will miss him. Even though I have not met you personally I feel like I know you through my conversations with James. I will surely miss him and I will pray his soul.
Take care and may God bless all of you.
