It's almost strawberry season once again, and it is with great sadness that I learn that Jim won't be here to welcome this year's crop. In 2006, when I first met Jim, he shared that he enjoyed making and gifting family and friends with homemade jam.  Though now retired,  as a freelance syndicated food columnist/photographer with Bluffton Today newspaper, I jumped at the chance to accept Jim's gracious invitation to observe the making of Jim's Strawberry Jam in his pristine Rose Hill kitchen. After sharing his time, talent and delicious recipe for strawberry jam, Jim made news in our community and throughout the World Wide Web (WWW), as his countenance, recipe and technique was published on the food pages of the April 18, 2006 issue. I offer my heartfelt sympathy to Rose and cherished family and friends. May Jim enjoy the comfort of God's loving, tender embrace and the peace of long walks through strawberry fields forever.

Jim was a good friend and it was a pleasure and honor to have known him. The memories of Jim that were shared during the service brought back memories of the time spent with him in DC, Florida and on the boat in Maryland. I love Jim and will remember his kind spirit, his stories and friendship forever.

Mr. and Mrs. Clayton were among my parents, Fred and Helena's best friends. They attended the same church, social functions and were frequent dinner guests at their home in DC.

I will always remember the look on my parent's face at Mass when Mr. Clayton sang this solos in the gospel choir.

A beautiful voice. A beautiful man. May God bless you Mr. Clayton and ease the heart of Mrs. Clayton and all of your loved ones.

Peace and blessings, Valca

I have such fond memories of this  “most handsome man”.  He would light up the room with his smile and positive energy. More than once, he shared his tasty jam!!!    More than once I returned his jelly jars. I remember his saying “no one does that anymore! “.    

You will be missed handsome man!
