Memories and Condolences
for James Munn

Not sure what to say?





Mr Munn, you were an inspiration and a friend to me all of the years I have known you. You showed me that there was life after Corporation and you were the reason I started my transport business after you retired. I will miss being able to ask you for advice and wish we had been able to just talk more. God bless you on this journey.

Vickie, I had lost track of Munn since I moved from the Baton Rouge area. I want you to express our sympathy. We had some good times at Istrouma and also at Rabenhorst. We worked in the funeral business together starting in high school. He was at Welsh and me at Hollabaugh-Spindle. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
