Written by Mary Margaret "Sis" DeCoursey-Dix, 1995

Our Dad was a happy go lucky and caring person. He liked to carry the grandchildren around the house and sing to them.

Unfortunately we lost him at the early age of sixty-five but he died happy. He was at a dance dancing, walked off the floor, waved to my mom and dropped to the floor. His death of course was a big jolt to the family, but as I told my Mom, he died happy doing what he loved to do.


James William "Jake" DeCoursey III, Mary Margaret "Sis" DeCoursey-Dix, Ralph Dix Jr., Helen Shaughnessy-DeCoursey, 1945.
