How many can say they have more than a friend or two whom they have instantly liked, and who has instantly, at first meeting, in turn made them their good friend?
I only have one or two living "forever" friends, but James Dunkle had dozens. I have never met someone so roundly liked, so likeable, and so hard-working. His life was filled with friends, and with a number of "jobs" he performed regularly. I say "jobs" in quotes, but he would tell you they were not jobs, but that he was just helping out a friend or two. He met the world and its problems head-on, and I never heard a negative word from him.
He has passed us by at a young age - so very young - but I think not of the years we will NOT have him here, but how lucky we were to have had him in our lives for those years that he was with us. I will always remember him, and I say:
God Bless James Dunkle!
