Condolence: To the DeRan family, We remember lots of conversations with Jim. What a great man he is. Always a smile for you, along with great conversation. We are very sorry for your huge loss. He will be missed by his friends too!

Condolence: Sincere sympathy to the DeRan Family. I spent a great deal of my childhood visiting my Grandmother, Evelyn McBride and my Aunt Louise Heaps and went to Sunday School with Jimmy, his family, Ann Wilson, Eunice Harry, Charlie Bill Richardson and many others at Highland. I have many fond memories of these folks. I am so sorry to learn of Jimmy's passing. Our daughter and her family now live in the Highland house, so family ties continue. God bless you all. Evelyn Shaw Kramar

Condolence: Some of my earliest memories are of playing games, running around outside barefoot, with Jim. My brother and sister, Wallace and Jeannette, and all the DeRans grew up together. Jim is the first one we are losing. It is a sad time. I look forward to seeing the family on October 5th.
