Our condolences to the McCullough family on Jim’s passing. Some of our best childhood memories are of working on the farm and riding the tractor with Jim during haying season. We will always remember him fondly.

We are very sorry we could not be with your family at this time. Nolin has some sort of respiratory virus.
Your father was an amazing man. He was always smiling and made others laugh. We will keep you in our prayers.

Alf,Randy,Nita,Cathy and all the Family:
Jim was for us a true gentleman,a unique neighbour who always was ready to help.I don’t know what we would have done without Jim when we moved to Loretto in 1976, these City people who do not know how to drive and get stuck in their own driveway and here was Jim ready to help with a smile, never complaining, never angry!We will miss you but you will always remain in our hearts! You are and will always be a true Champion! God bless you always!

Our condolences to the McCullough family. We will miss our dear neighbor who faithfully removed our snow for all the years we have been living there. He certainly was a great man with a big heart. God bless Jim.

Ike, Condolences on the passing of your brother Jim. You, I and all people younger should not forget that your brother Jim and his fellow comrades are the reason we lived in the longest war free time known. He was a member of The Great Generation. God Bless Jim. Boyd.
