Joyce, Matt, Lisa, Staci and Aaron and Family - The loss of such a great man as Jim is heavy on my heart. I thought of him as my other dad. He loved to make everyone smile. I will always cherish the family get togethers, BBQs and the laughter of hearing the stories of all the ornery things that Jim did.
I love you all and am thankful that I am part of your family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Love Penne

You will be missed Jim. I will be sure to share with my girls all of my wonderful memories of the elves in your tree and the cookies you always made sure I had! Rest peacefully.

Matthew and family,
I am so sorry I could not be there to serve you and your family. It was not that long ago when Jeffrey died.
I hope you are doing well and holding onto each other during this time of sadness.
I will touch base with you when I get home.

Rest in Peace, Uncle Jim. You were a great man and such a special part of my childhood. Whether it was swimming in the pool in your backyard or hiking together to see a waterfall in Canada, I always had a good time with my Uncle Jim. I will cherish my memories of you forever.
Love, "Kristie Lynn"
