Memories and Condolences
for James Boltin

Not sure what to say?





Billy, I just learned of Bobs passing a few minutes ago. So sorry I missed his funeral. Our condolences to you and you family and know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bob was one of the kindest and most thoughtful gentleman I ever met. I remember growing up how much his friendship meant to my parents and how they looked forward going to dances with you and Bob. He was quite accomplished on the dance floor and could really shine. Bob will be greatly missed by his family and all who know him.

Worked with Bob at LADOTD. I always found him to be ambitious and knew he would do very well. I remember the new 1960 Galaxy 500 he purchased while working at the Highway Dept. as it was know in the Sixties. He was determine to have that beautiful four door galaxy with with white wall. A wonderful man. Blessings to the family.
