First off I’m sorry Marie and to the whole family and friends for the loss of a great man. James Ophie Thaxton was my uncle. I’m glad for the times we had and the memories. From when I was a little boy living in Butler county I remember him and the family stopping by for visits. If I remember correctly I think they lived with us for a little while there. Living in a house in the middle of know where surrounded by corn you remember when people stopped in. Then when we moved to Franklin and James and Marie moved here for a while. I remember going fishing with him and dad. I loved seeing them two spend time together they would have me laughing all day. They would argue over the stupidest things but they made me laugh. James and my dad, Randall loved one another. Always had a great time around them two. Then James moved back to Arizona. I seen him one last time. That was probably 15 years ago when I went on a trip out West. I remember Ronny, And a couple other of his kids but I’m sorry I can’t remember there names, to many years have gone by. 

Again I’m sorry for everyone’s loss. He was a great man. Wish I kept in contact more than I did. Sending prayers to you all and god bless. 

The only Grandpa I ever had a we look so much alike.I love you so much
