Mrs. Arms:
Just wanted you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you...Although we never met you, we always set beside Jim at the Horseheads basketball games. (In fact, he saved us seats beside him on the floor level because he knew we had bad knees and didn't want to climb)...Thru many conversations we grew to know Jim and realized what a terrific outlook on life he always kept. We know how well he was liked by all he came in contact with. We will always think of him as we enter the gym for basketball games and look around for convenient seating. May God comfort you and your family.

Dear Joyce, I am so very sorry to hear about Jim. It has been so many years since I have seen any of you, but have thought of you often. LaFayette says he had seen Jim & I have wanted to come up & see you both, but didn't get there & am so regretful for that. Wish we had never lost contact because we really had some good times, with so much fun & laughter. My love & prayers are with all of you & know, that everyone knew what a great man Jim was. God bless all of you!

A better neighbor you couldn't ask for. Through the years I had many conversations with Jim and I always came away feeling wiser and I always came away with a smile, always. He was a very good man and we have all lost a great deal by his passing. I'll miss you Jim.
