	I was shocked to hear the loss of such a fine young man. He had a nice smile and always friendly. I knew James from seeing him around the Harner farm many years ago when I would visit my friend Steve.   I am so sorry for your loss. I lost a brother 1 1/2 years ago due to car accident. It is a very hard thing, but your faith, family and friends will help you through this tragic loss.    God be with you all,  Darryl Eppard

	It was with great shock and sadness that we heard of James untimely death. He was a good man, great friend and good father and husband. He always spoke of his family and was so proud of them. I knew him as a man of integrity and honor, his word was his bond. There are not many people that we can say that about. He never was afraid of a challange at work or in life. Our prayers are with you and your children. God bless you all.
