Brenda, Karen & the Beach Family,

Jim was one of the nicest salesman that I have ever known and I will never forget his big smile and the little twinkle in his eye that he had for all that he chatted with. He will be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you and may the love of your family and friends bring you comfort at this most difficult time.
