My condolences. I believe I may have spent my first days in the Army with James. I was drafted in Nov. 1966. Sent to Fort Jackson SC. Several times I did a google search to find him. If this is the same James I met in boot camp, I want you to know he was very funny. He could do a perfect imitation of the Sargent. He made boot camp a little easier to go through. Wish I could have found him sooner. Would have liked to have stayed in contact.

Please accept my deepest condolences regarding the loss of your loved one. During sad times like this, I like to reflect on Rev. 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” This is comforting for us because it helps us to see that death, is not a part, of life—because here God promises to do away with it. Further we know He is referring to conditions here on earth, because neither death, mourning, outcry, nor pain, exists in heaven. I sincerely hope this scripture gives your family the comfort it has given mine, and if you'd like to read the Bible online, or learn about God's promises for our loved ones who've fallen asleep in death, please feel free to visit JW.org.

Dear Ethel,
I am sorry to hear about Brother James's Death. I know you will miss him dearly. He was always a kind, loving friend who enjoyed making me laugh. He shared a beautiful resurrection hope with over 8 million other Jehovah’s Witnesses earth wide. Now his future life in Paradise is in Jehovah’s hands. Take care and may Jehovah’s Comfort in the Bible, Comfort you. (Psalm 37:10,11)

To the family,
I'm sorry to hear that Boo has passed. It always hard to say farewell to love ones. Thank GOD for the years he shared with you all, the memories he left behind to cherish. He's in the hands of the father who love us and knows what's best for us all.

Rest in Peace my Cousin
FAMILY OF (James A. “Boo” “Jim” Gassaway)
“NOTICE” CHANGE OF ADDRESS
(“Boo”) would like all of you to know that he has a “new address.”
Please be advised that I, (James Gassaway), have moved. I received a call from God, the commander-in-chief, a few days ago. He informed me that my new home was completed. All of you knew that I had been negotiating a change of location. I have been sending up my timber, packing up, and getting ready to go. I knew that my home needed some finishing touches and that the commander-in-chief, Jesus Christ, had to inspect it and give me final approval. Well, on (January 4th, 2018), He let me know that my new home was completed, and it was ok to move in. So, He told me to go ahead and change my address.
Well, my new home is completed. What a sight it is. It is located on an exclusive estate area just behind the twelve pearly gates. The street of the city is pure gold. Every day is Sunday and I can walk around heaven all day.
I lived in a building built by man for (75) years. But, my new home is so much better. There is peace, joy, no pain, no heartaches, and no disappointments. I can now dine at the Master’s table and listen to the heavenly choir singing “O Happy Day.”
I have my personal designer to fit me with my own white robe, shoes and wings. I could go on and on about my new home, but instead, I am going to pray that each of you will move here someday and I will see you then. Before, I go, let me give you my new address.
Forever Street & Hallelujah! Boulevard, God’s Town, Heaven
Respectfully Submitted,
Your cousins, John, Bill "Tootie", Darlene, Ciscus Brown, and Gwen Dye
