Our thoughts go out for you and your family. As I am thinking of what to say I just keep thinking of our past. I remember Jim as a loving father, husband and neighbor: He was a thoughtful man that lived his life showing us how to live ours. He loved the outdoors, going hunting with our family, taking my brothers to their ball games. He will be missed! God bless each of you.
