Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the Ocean View Funeral Home of Horry County, South Carolina. THIS IS A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF JIM, What makes a man a Mason, O brother of mine? It isn't the due guard, nor is it the sign, It isn't the jewel which hangs on your breast It isn't the apron in which you are dressed It isn't the step, nor the token, nor the grip, Nor lectures that fluently flow from the lip, Nor yet the possession of that mystic word On five points of fellowship duly conferred. Though these are essential, desirable, fine, They don't make a Mason, O brother of mine. That you to your sworn obligation are true that my brother, makes a Mason of you.
