Iris and Family:
It was so troubling to learn of Jim's passing. He was a remarkable man and father. I always admired him for his love and dedication to family and friends. I am fortunate to have known him and will always keep the good memories we had near to my heart. God bless you all!

Theresa, Kellie, and family. We have a commitment at Adventurelife Church on Monday at 5 PM and won't be able to attend Jims service. We want you and the family to know Jim always brought smiles to our faces and warmed our hearts. He was a true gentleman and we aways learned something new when we had coffee before he played. Kellie, Jim truly did appreciate you taking the time to play golf with him, he always said, "I don't know why she wants to play golf with me when I can't hit the ball out of my shadow". We will always treasure our memories of him!

Iris and family. It is hard to express one's feeling when a friend who was a very good person is gone. I have personally gone through this pain and know the heartache. You and Jim raised a wonderful family. Do what I did! Let your children and grandchildren share as much time and their love for you. I am so sorry for your loss.
