{"product_id":"2940148573517","title":"The Life and Times of James W. Shirley Sr. You Can Get There from Here","description":"In the small town of Harrison City, Pennsylvania, Jim Shirley began his life surrounded by family and community members. It didn’t matter that they didn’t have electricity, used a galvanized steel washtub for bathing, and had an outhouse for other necessities. A loving and caring mother, older siblings, and a home built of love were the stepping stones to a self made man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Jim grows older, he learns what he wants to do in life, how to create a family of his own, and how to draw the most out of what life has to offer a person. After becoming a licensed funeral director in 1959, he was employed in the Pittsburgh area. Later, he purchased a home under unusual circumstances in North Huntingdon Township, Pennsylvania. As a budding funeral director he inadvertently became a community leader in the Lions International organization and, presented his speaking skills, he showed us what it means to bring a new meaning to life and enjoy every moment of it with the same wondrous awe we had as children.","brand":"Dorrance Publishing Co.
