James John Stettler

West Point, 1968

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Joann Corsello Sigl on October 22, 2024:

In the spring of 1967, I was introduced to Jim on a blind date.

Jim and I dated for over a year and our time together was
Priceless. Due to my stupidity I chose a different direction and ended our relationship. I really believe Jim was heartbroken due to events that happened between us. We tried connecting but life had different plans for us. When I finally had gotten the opportunity to be able to get closure on our relationship, I received a call that Jim had been in a helicopter crash and did not survive. I was devastated knowing I could never be able to apologize or explain my decisions. I was just telling this story to a friend.

I brought this page up and started typing! Jim if you can read this, I just wanted you to know how many times I tried reaching you but couldn't. I know you are around me at times because of signs!

So many wonderful memories, thanks Jim!
RIP!
