I knew Jim and his sister, Marilyn, when we were kids in high school. Neither Jim nor I pursued getting to know each other as adults. We once said "hello" to one other at a class reunion, but that was pretty much it.
Nevertheless, I remember Jim as being polite and a little bit bashful when we were in high school. He would always be willing to listen to what one had to say.
I wish you peace, Jim, and eternal rest.

Michelle & Family,
Just a note of condolence on Jim's passing. Jim was always my go to guy in Springville when I needed help with a certificate, a cemetery or other issue. Also the fun times at Erie Basin Marina. R.I.P Jim!
