James Weldon Surber

West Point, 1954

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Buddy Rodgers on August 16, 2008:

I remember Jim as a caring and guiding officer. When I was just a kid he guided me in the hobby of coin collecting. As the years went by I also became friends with his son, Jim. In later years he hired me to take care of his lawn. Shortly before his passing Jim asked me to take care of "Elsa", his wife as far as her lawn care. I am honored to be living up to that request and will as long as I can. Jim was a man of integrity and honor and I feel lucky to have known him.
