Poem
Jimmy my son, so many years ago, when you were such a little tot, your sister and you, would pay me a visit every Saturday. Miss those days of so long ago, had many memories to go with them. Jimmy I was so proud of you my son, day you were born, you were my pride and joy, as every father who has his first son is. so we named you James W. Foulk Jr., can't tell you how happy I was. It broke my heart when your mother left me and I thought the world had ended. Heart ache was with me but got by ok, still had you and your sister Christine to see each week. Many years passed and I moved to Denver in 1977, so we lost touch after a while. Saw you for last time in 1994, not thinking it would be last visit with you my son. On September 20, 2005 at the age of 39, you left 3 sons behind on that fatal day, I did come home to see you for the last time in your coffin. Like my dad, I stayed away from you and am now paying for it, Jimmy my son, love you and will miss you so, life is so short, as I found out my son Jimmy. wrote 9-23-08 IN MEMORY OF MY SON JAMES W. FOULK JR. BORN 4-19-66 DIED SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 IN MOTORCYLE ACCIDENT IN DES MOINES IOWA.
