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.
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.
Thank you for posting from Indiana
Next time I am in CA I will visit and pay my respects to Jim...a beacon of free speech....and my daily source of information for many years...may he rest in peace...Spokeshave
Ping me when this happens,,, I am one state over in Nevada
Thank you for sharing. Very thoughtful and I appreciate it. May God comfort the family of this very fine man who was loved by God.
