I attended Jim's graveside service. I feel like I should post something about it, to give Freepers and his Family some peace. I'm sure his son Chris has many things to do besides make a post about this, so I'm going to do one for him. Hope he doesn't mind. It was a small and Solemn service. A Navy Funeral Presence was there... from the near by base of Lemoore Naval Air Station. They did the United States Flag folding ceremony, and also played Taps. The Rabbi who presided over it, said a wonderful prayer, about mourning death... it wasn't about "mourning" but more about "celebrating" Jim being with God. It was very touching. A nice Lady, sang Amazing Grace. We spread a little sand on his casket as a Farewell. It was very respectful.

Thank you for the report.

Jimrob is missed.

I'm just taking a guess, that the rabbi was the only military chaplain available that day. Sounds like he did a mitzvah (good deed) in acknowledging Jim's baptism.

Military Chaplain is my favorite hypothesis.

I met Jim decades ago and he was 100% Christian and so I’m sure that’s where he finished his race.

I was just curious about how the word “rabbi” got in there.
