I had always wanted to sail with Jim, my dad and Jim worked together in WWII, but I did not get the chance. In later years his son, Duke and I did get that opportunity.

May Jim continue on with smooth seas and following winds.

My mother and i just wanted to offer our heart felt sorrow over the passing of Mr Waters. We both remember jim as a real gentle man and someone that was always willing to lend a helping hand. Pleasant valley holds alot of memories for those of us that lived there, and jim will always be in our hearts and minds.Rest in peace jim.

Jim,
My brother-in-law for many, many years.
A kind and gentle man.  Much loved by family and friends.  So many fond memories.        Tiny

Jim was a good friend---all the way back to grade school.  I will always remember him for our many good times together.

We will all miss you uncle Jim, so many happy memories every summer in Pleasant valley with all the relatives together.

Hard to believe he's really gone.  We're sure gonna miss him.  He was a great dad, which is the most important thing a man can be.

So Sorry for your loss our hearts and prayers go out to the family of such a sweet and loving man. God be with you.

Well Jim, 
It's kind of interesting that just recently you were on my mind. 
And now I know why. Things were not always "Top Knot " with us, but believe it or not, you made an impression on me.
You may have never known it, but you did. Your life made me look at all of my failures and forced me to reach for something better, and to know that there are people like you who proved what a successful life can bring if you just keep trying. I'm not there yet, but pretty close. I struck out on my own, and made a life for me and my family, and you were someone to whom I used as an example many times of success. 
I still laugh about the time that we first met, and you handed me a puzzle and You said "Okay here's a puzzle; you have two balls in the center and without tipping it, you have to make those balls end up at either end"  And I am SURE you thought I wouldn't figure it out! 
I took a look at it, and put it on the table and spun it around. The balls went right where they were supposed to. 
You kinda looked at me sideways, scratched your head, and walked off. 
Just a memory. 
Well old Captain Waters, the final voyage is just the beginning. 
May your next "Repast" be in heaven with the greatest Captain of them all! "Begin the Beguine"...
My sympathy's to the Waters Family. Be blessed, and I will be praying for you.
