My deepest sympathy to the Tingle family. Jim was a dear friend and classmate as well as a fellow "Phoenix neighbor". There was never a time when laughter wasn't shared. I have so many memories and endless stories over the many years that will always hold a special meaning to me. He will truly be missed by many.

I met Jim thru my husband, Mike Barton. Jim was the best man at our wedding 42 years ago. I was always impressed with his sense of humor and how he could tell a story. A person couldn't help but feel better when you were around him. To Jim's wife, children and grandchildren, other family and friends, my thoughts and prayers go out to you. I pray that God place His Healing Hands on your hearts and bring you comfort.
