Jim was a good neighbor. If you couldn't fix it you just asked Jim and he would fix it for you. If you needed a tool, he had it. He always kept an eye on our house when we were not home. He was great to Greg & Gillian and even Cashew. He loved Lisa's bean soup! We will miss him!
Sincerely,
Mark, Lisa, Greg, Gillian & Cashew

My condolences to his family. I remember him well from our days growing up in that huge metropolis know then as Seltzer City. It was small and we all played together, gathered together for local picnics and other events.
