In Memorial Of James J Bazata


In Rememberence Of
James J Bazata

November, 4 1938 – November, 14 2004


“ If I had my life to do over
I’d have chosen you to be my dad,
Once more.
Even if it meant losing you again,
It’s worth all the tears in the world.
You were my sunshine when skies were gray.
I loved you and honored you.
You took all my tears away.
I was happy to be with you,
Proud to be your little boy.
Sometimes we would argue,
But to me, you meant the world.
Your love was always pure.
Your time seemed all too short and
I feel so alone.
My heart is completely crushed
But nothing loved is ever lost.
!!!And you are loved so much!!!”

WE LOVE YOU DAD

The memories of my childhood and the lessons the may father taught me will be shared with my soon to arrive daughter. I know that my father, James is with family and friends and will always watch over us. The lives he has touched will never forget his kindess and love. For the only sorrow in my heart is that he would have not had the opportunity to hold his new born granddaughter in his arms.

In loving memory of my Father.

My brother, Jim, was always there for me. Although we lived in different states, we were just a phone call away and visits were always special events. He will remain close to my heart.

You make many acquaintances in life, but only a few friends. I first met Jim in July of 1999.It was always a pleasure to call on him at the bank. We would talk about our children and convertibles.Every once in a while we'd even have lunch together. I am thankful for the opportunity of getting to know Jim Bazata and to be able to call him my friend.
