Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home

Jim became a part of my life in 1970. He was always one of the kindest, most loving men in my life. My father-in-law always accepted and treated me like a daughter. I can honestly say I was his favorite daughter-in-law, because I was the only one. Even though I was divorced from his son, he never changed his feelings towards me and always made me feel welcome and part of the family. Having the first two grandchildren I always thought it very important to keep them in touch with their grandparents and Jim would not have had it any other way. He was a man of great wisdom and loved to help when you had a problem. I loved and will miss all his hugs at the door when you arrived for a visit, listening to his stories, his music (guitar & organ), his singing, his laughter, his sense of humor and his baked beans on Saturday night. Most ex daughter-in-laws are not as fortunate as I was to have such a special father-in-law love them. I am going to miss you Dad.
