This is truly a loss. He was an original, to say the least. My life wouldve never been the same without the years I spent learning from him. I am better because of this man. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, and especially with his beloved Pam.
Pam Doug Kelly….just heard about Dr. Sorry to hear. So sad. What a great person and employer to work for all those years. Funny thing though. Was just talking about him to mom and dad on friday. Thinking of you all. RIP Dr.
Dear Pam, I have missed seeing Jim lately. I want you to know how much both of you mean to me.
So sorry to hear of your precious husbands passing, Pam. Knowing you as such a wonderful, fun, and caring person, Pam, assures me that James must have been very much the same. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and I am so sorry for your loss.
Dr. Jim was a very special person in my life! I learned many life lessons from him and enjoyed my time working in the office. His life was well lived and I know how much he loved Pam, Doug and Kelly as well as many other family members and friends. He can rest in Gods hands now! His smile in his picture is how I will always remember him. Peaceful!
Sorry for your loss.
We all have special memories of Christmas at Uncle Jims house with the Christmas plays we all participated in, our pictures taken sitting on his prize Kodiak Grizzly Bear and guessing which uncle dawned the Santa Suit. We will miss his sense of humor and his wisdom. We know he is united with all of our precious family that has gone on before him and they are enjoying their own great family reunion. Love and comfort to all of our cousins and aunts and uncles during this difficult time. Thank you for the legacy!
Dr. Callender was my Orthodontist for many years he was a kind man and a great Orthodontist!! My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
