OUR CRUISER FRIEND, JAMES SPILLER, PASSED AWAY ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 2006 AFTER A BATTLE WITH LUNG CANCER. 

When good men die, their goodness does not perish. --Euripides    

I wish all of you to know that Jimmy, as we knew him in the family, considered all of you to be his family as well. Whether or not you knew it, Jimmy "found" himself when he joined your car club; it became his passion and he talked incessantly about his exploits. After viewing your website, I have no doubt about your love for him, and I am certain that he is looking down upon all of us longing for the cruises that he participated in, while knowing that those he was a part of brought him the greatest of joy with the greatest of friends. To us, we are happy knowing that you cared so much for him and allowed him to live his life in a manner that brought him great joy, peace and happiness. As far as we're concerned, you were not his friends; rather, you were his "family" as well. As he was my brother, so was he yours. We thank you on his, and our, behalf, for simply being the good people that you are.


See you Saturday and thanks for the great website tribute.

William Spiller, Jr., Esq.

"The Bible says that all who are in Christ will be together in Heaven, "And so we will be with the Lord forever" (1 Thessalonians 4:17). You may recall that when Jesus was transfigured or changed before the eyes of some of His disciples, they saw Him in His heavenly glory. But they also saw "Moses and Elijah (who) appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus" (Luke 9:30-31). Although the appearance of these two men was different in Heaven, they still could be recognized. So will we in Heaven."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

                                      

 

 

 

We Shall Meet Again


If I should leave this world Without a warning, And not even whisper a fond farewell, Grieve not for one more message From the lips that God has stilled. But just remember me with love And prayers for my soul's journey To that fair land beyond life's tears. For I have believed with all my heart In its existence, and I know that God is good, for He has come to me Through the life of Him whose very Garment I have sought to touch. It may be lonely, and I hope you miss me Just a little, because I have loved so deeply. Forgive me if I have ever hurt you And remember me for what I longed to be. Have faith that I am nearer than Your dreams and fondest longings. For the God of love shall keep all Kindred spirits close together, Though the misty vale between This world and that to come Keeps us from each other's sight For a few precious moments. Whisper softly that you love me And it shall linger on within my soul Until you come. Say not good-bye, For on some bright tomorrow We shall meet again.

Some words of Comfort and Hope from the Book of John:

16:16 

         "After a little while you will not see me, and then after a little      while you will see me again."

 
16:17

Some of the followers said to each other, "What does Jesus mean when he says, 'After a little while you will not see me, and then after a little while you will see me again'? And what does he mean when he says, 'Because I am going to the Father'?"

 
16:18

They also asked, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We don't understand what he is saying."

 
16:19

Jesus saw that the followers wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, "Are you asking each other what I meant when I said, 'After a little while you will not see me, and then after a little while you will see me again'?

16:20

I tell you the truth, you will cry and be sad, but the world will be happy. You will be sad, but your sadness will become joy.

16:21

When a woman gives birth to a baby, she has pain, because her time has come. But when her baby is born, she forgets the pain, because she is so happy that a child has been born into the world.

16:22

It is the same with you. Now you are sad, but I will see you again and you will be happy, and no one will take away your joy.

16:23

In that day you will not ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you anything you ask for in my name.

And from Ecclesiastes 8:

8:14  

Sometimes something useless happens on earth. Bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people. I say that this is also useless.

8:15  

So I decided it was more important to enjoy life. The best that people can do here on earth is to eat, drink, and enjoy life, because these joys will help them do the hard work God gives them here on earth.

8:16 

I tried to understand all that happens on earth. I saw how busy people are, working day and night and hardly ever sleeping.

8:17  

I also saw all that God has done. Nobody can understand what God does here on earth. No matter how hard people try to understand it, they cannot. Even if wise people say they understand, they cannot; no one can really understand it.

And Ecclesiastes 9: 

9:7 

So go eat your food and enjoy it; drink your wine and be happy, because that is what God wants you to do.

On August 12, 2006, while at Cruise the Rockies VI, we took James's ashes to the point in New Mexico where the Red River and the Rio Grande converge and set his earthly remains free over the spectacular 360-degree vista at La Junta Overlook.
