Katie, Emily, and Angela,
I am so sorry I was not able to come today. I just wanted to let you girls know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. If there is anything we can do please let us know. Watching Donavee cry the other night after she found out all I could do was give her a hug, and that's what I wish I could do for you guys right now. Your Dad was awesome and will be missed. Our home has always and always will be open to you guys, so if you need anything we are here.

We've known each other our entire life, growing up together on same street. The neighborhood meeting spot at the creek, playing games, wading in creek, walking thru the then "woods" being mischievous! You have a heart of gold, I'll always remember your reaching out to me when Joanie passed this year.I will miss you So much! Praying for your family to get thru this as best they can. When we meet again..well a ride thru heaven on your Harley would be awesome! & perhaps our "bucket list" adventure! Thank You for always being there for my family. Love You Jim, I'll miss you Bunches! <3 Susie ×o

I am still in shock that my big "brother" Jim has left this world! I will always remember he, Jeff and Pat hanging out down the street at the creek. He was the nicest of the bunch when "terrorizing" the Barber girls around the neighborhood! He was a great man and loving father and grandpa, posting and showing new pics of his grandkids all of the time. I will miss him. My heart goes out to all of Jim's family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers! My sister said it best when she said Pat was waiting at the "clubhouse" for him. I'm sure they are having a beer and a laugh at our expense right now.

It's been many many years, he may not have even remembered my family, but I remember the Hackbarths that lived down the street on Creston in the 70's. I'm so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Peace be with him and his family.

Words cannot express how sorry we were to hear of Jim's passing. Having been a life long friend of my mothers, Joanie Howlett's, I have known him my entire life. Some of my greatest childhood memories were made at his house with his girls, nieces and family. He was truly one of a kind. When he moved, he become neighbors on Carrie Ave with my now husband, RJ. He was a great neighbor, always stopping by for a chat or wave. He has touched many lives and will never be forgotten. Carry the memories with you and he will always be with you. The peace lily we sent will hopefully provide peace as the days and weeks move forward. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
All our love,
Natalie and RJ

I am so sorry to hear about Jim. I basically grew up with him and his sister and brother. I spent so many days and nights being chased around our neighborhood playing "the game" with him and Jeff only to be tortured by them later on. The last time I saw him he was setting off professional fireworks on the street behind my sisters house and scaring my kids and dog to death! Ha ha. He was so awesome. He will be sorely missed but won't be alone. My brother (Pat) will be there waiting for him in the clubhouse.
