God's blessings to Florence and all of Jims' family in this time of sorrow. Jim will always be remembered for his friendliness, humor, and great stories. He helped me with highways to travel, he knew them all.He treated Florence like a queen and she truly loved him. They did everything together. He will be missed by us all who loved him.

We will always remember Uncle Jimmy and his cheerful, sassy way. He would light up a room with his smile and a joke. If you wanted to know where to find the best steak sandwich or fish fry, just ask Uncle Jimmy. He has a heart of gold a cared about those around him. He has enriched my life and he will be missed.
