Uncle Jim, as he affectionately become, was a great influence in my life and our family. So many memories of Carne/ Babcock vacations, anniversary parties (where it wasn't uncommon to eat a cake, made in a frying pan),. We often hid under a table, bed, behind a couch or in a closet just waiting for the perfect moment to pop out yelling happy birthday, anniversary, at a shivver or just surprise!! Laughing till we cried & sometimes until ears ran down our legs. Praying at an altar, singing together at hymn sings, worship, fellowship around a campfire, CYC and family camps, our parents and Uncle Jim & Aunt Lorraine working site by side. So many hugs, happy moments and times of grief shared. We simply did life together. Right up until this July at Camp, I was still his " Catrinka". Thanking God for gifting all our lives with such a great man, with a heart for God and a passion to lead others to his best friend, Jesus, those around him, whether at home or abound. This world was a greater place, having had Jim Carne in it.
Love & Prayers Bruce & Cathy Catrinka ( Babcock) Langstaff
