“To Jim’s family:: We.’re so very sorry for your loss. Jim was a good person and he will be missed. We were very good friends when we lived in Fort Dodge and our kids played together and Jim and I worked together at Gus Glazer for many years. We will all be together again some day.🙏 Wayne & Traudl Edgerton Flower Mound, TX”
