Dear Kontes' family,
Harold and I would like you to know how grateful we are that our grandson Parker had the privilege of knowing Jim. On their fishing trips together, Parker learned many life lessons from Jim's words of wisdom. In Jim, Parker had the model of a man who had great love for his family, his country, and his heritage. We know this experience will remain with Parker well beyond his ten years of age. We, too, are richer for having known Jim and will speak of him often. "May his memory be eternal."
Harold and Irene Long
