I have just recieved word of Jim's passing.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
I was lucky to have known Jim. I was one of his suppliers. I had to wait years to become one. I was fortunate in that my predessesor finaley retired. Thank goodness! For years before that I would only get " my supplier has
been good to me" Thats how Jim was. I would guess I supplied Jim for the last 15 years. He was certainly a craftsman and a gentleman as well!

We are so sorry for your loss. Jim put an addition on our home 13 years ago and we were actually sad when he was finished because he had become a friend that we would miss seeing every day. Jim was a wonderful, kind, honest man with a great sense of humor.
