I was married to the late Harry L. Alger, James's brother. We visited James, Gladys, and Barbara at their home and they at ours in Greencastle, Pa. My husband & I visited him at the Facility where he resided and we ate at Shoney's. Once I surprised him by taking him to Charlestown to see his father's widow and his little sister. He enjoyed that. I shall have good memories of my brother-in-law, James. We both had birthdays in June. That made us feel closer.He was loving and a good hugger. He liked to dance with the ladies at the Sr. Center. Always upbeat, even when not feeling well. He shall be sadly missed by me and my family. Now he's again with Gladys and Barbara and will no longer have physical ailments. My sincere condolences to James's Family. I'll miss my dear friend and brother-in-law.
