Douglas Tait Obituary

Dear Lynda: I was surprised to see Jim's name pop up in my email. Until I tried to find information about his service last year, I didn't know his first name was not "Jim." to see his smiling face once again today was a happy moment. I think my friend and neighbor Peggy Myslenski and I were two of his original "handyman" regulars. We could always count on good [and speedy!] work, creative solutions, and interesting conversation. I remember when he fixed the cupalo on my roof, he said you might want one too. I only just recently got the name of a potential "handyman." He is going to help a garage door guy replace my heavy garage door. Gotta have it - I'm "older" now. We shall see how he measures up. Blessings to you and your family. Sincerely

Lynda,
We are so sorry to just hear the passing of Jim, Our sympathy is with you. It was so nice to know Jim and talk with him over the years regarding business and life. We got to see Jim's Honesty, integrity and we know he loved Jesus!
Our condolences are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I did not hear about it until it was too late to attend his Celebration of Life Service. I only today found this post. I only knew Jim as a "handyman" but it didn't take long to know he was so much more. He was willing to share his views, but never "preached" at us. I liked to say to him "you know, Jim, you helped me piece my house back together." Two things stand out at the moment = I had a bad leak involving my small front porch. He stood puzzling over it for a few minutes, and finally said, "well, we'll just raise the roof." And he did. Another time he fixed my stove. I was in another room, but I heard him say "Praise the Lord!" when he got it all set. Well, I said," Jim I have to say I have never had my stove blessed before!' He was a good man, cheerful, and I never knew anyone who worked so quickly and came up with great ideas to make things work. I still have a message from him on my machine. Wishing Lynda and Jim's children and many grandchildren peaceful days filled with happy memories.

We were saddened to hear of Jim's passing but rejoice that he is healed and whole now. We are so grateful that he presided over our wedding 31 years ago. It is a beautiful memory and one we will always cherish. Mark remembers fondly the early days of his Christian walk meeting with Jim for Bible study. We are grateful that he was part of these significant milestones in our lives so many years ago. Love, Mark and Susan

We loved Jim s smile and gentle loving nature. He was a bright spirit in our world and will be sorely missed. Our sympathies and love go out to you Lynda and family. God is close and we know Jim is in paradise

Lynda, Jaime, Laurie and the entire family, I am so, so sorry for your loss. It broke my heart to hear this news. Jim has always held a special place in my heart. I have so many fun memories of him that still, so many years later, make me chuckle. My deepest condolences to you all.

Jim made a huge difference in this world and now he is with Jesus. In all the years we knew him we never heard Jim say a bad word about anyone. He was a true example of a Godly man who loved his Lord, his wife and family. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He was truly one of the good guys. I know there is a great celebration in Heaven as they welcome Jim home. Linda, Laurie and Jamie we love you and are praying for Gods arms to hold you all close during this time.

I knew Jim from Tony Betten Ford. My condolences to the family.God-Bless.
