My sister and I are very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a faithful member of our Bible Discussion at the Hickman for many years. He was an active participant and a wonderful member of this group that searched for Gods direction and inspiration. Our prayers are with your family, we are sure Jim is in a much better place.

Jim was a wonderful man, with a ready smile, a great sense of humor and a Phillies fan. I sat next to him for about 12 years in the Main Line Symphony Orchestra. He was a fine clarinetist and musician. I know you will miss him much. May his memory be for a blessing.
