Legacy - James Albert Decker (18)

We were saddened to hear of Jimmy’s passing but rejoicing that he is with the Lord he loved and faithfully served his whole life. We will never forget the wonderful times of joy and laughter we had with Jimmy, Marilyn and Paul. We always appreciated him praying for us in our ministry. Do know our prayer support will continue to be with you.

Love, 
Glen and Mary Barnes

Note: Glen's note reminded me of one of my dad's finest characteristics. Every Sunday morning, he would pray for the pastors with whom he had a personal relationship. He would consistently pray for men like Glen, as well as others like, Earl Johnson, Sam McGarvey, Wayne Muckel, Ray Sissell, Pat Wilson, Mike Maloney, Noah Stoltzfus, Jim Miller, Don Dixon, and...well, it became a long list. Of course, he prayed for me too! He understood how difficult the task was that was before us, so he never failed to pray. What a legacy he has left!
