Our family grew up with the Goecke family. They lived about 4 houses down from us on Norman Avenue. I babysat for the boys and remember them well. Jim was a good kid and a good man. He fought a good battle but is gone too soon and I am left with our fond childhood memories. Many prayers to Kay and Jim and to their children and families.

Jimbo was quick to bring a smile to everyone´s face.
He had a heart the size of a mountain.
You could literally not see him for years & when you met back up it would be like you just saw each other a few hours before.
His memory will live on for the rest of my life.
I miss him already.
