Today I had the privilege of rendering honors for your loved one. It means a great deal to me to be able to properly honor a fellow Chief Petty Officer.
Thank you for your service Chief Waller. Rest in Peace.

My first memories of Jim was when I was dating Patty in High School. He would come to the front room and tell me it was time to leave and go home....
Now 40 years later, Patty and I are together and it's time for Jim to go home to Kathy....
You raised two great daughters Jim, one in particular....
