Ms. Margaret and Cathy,
I am saddened to hear of your loss of Mr.JC, and the loss of my dear friend.
I had known him many years and respected and admired him tremendously. I loved to visit with him and always enjoyed talking with him and
Listening to his broad range of knowledge and his opinions
He was a special unique person who was a special blessing to me and to all who were fortunate enough to know him
His strawberries were absolutely incomparable.
He will always live on in our hearts.

I have fond memories of growing up with both J.C. and Donald
Foorball and picking berries was hard but eating those beautiful berries was lots of fun.

Mrs. Margaret & Cathy,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss of a wonderful husband, father and strawberry grower.
I met Mr. J.C. and his family many, many years ago through the strawberry farm. I truly enjoyed each trip that took me to the farm, which was several hours away, and getting to know his family and enjoying such wonderful berries. I have yet to find any nearly as good.
Again, my memories of your family will last a lifetime.

God Bless you all!

If I were to live my life
in catfish forms
in scaffolds of skin and whiskers
at the bottom of a pond
and you were to come by
one evening
when the moon was shining
down into my dark home
and stand there at the edge
of my affection
and think, "It's beautiful
here by this pond. I wish
somebody loved me,"
I'd love you and be your catfish
friend and drive such lonely
thoughts from your mind
and suddenly you would be
at peace,
and ask yourself, "I wonder
if there are any catfish
in this pond? It seems like
a perfect place for them."
