A known fact is that Jim was always a friend to everyone. In high school and as as we grew older, Gary and I celebrated life with Jim and Lynda often. We had many fun parties with lots of other good friends. We shared many, many great times with Jim and Lynda. We always remained friends who were true friends, no matter how much time would pass between our visits. We could easily pick up where we left off when we'd get together again. That was Jim's personality - always a friend! Jim had a way to make everyone feel comfortable, welcome and accepted. He was kind and had a wonderfully warm smile for everyone. He was one of the smartest people I ever knew! I'm not sure Jim realized how many people really loved him! There are countless people that truly care for Jim and will miss him always. Class reunions for IHS 68 would always have Jim at the helm of organization - with him in charge,the reunions were always successful. Classmates always had very much fun and so many people remember Jim for that. Gary and I shared a few moments with Jim, Lynda and family during his final days. We saw Jim's familiar warm, welcoming smile and his heart that loved people and his family. He always blessed our lives and we are glad to know that we will see him again, in Heaven!!! What a party we'll all have then - being together again . We love you Jim, we love you Lynda and Amy and Becky. You are a beautiful family that exemplifies true family ties and real bonds of love. Jim and Lynda were very close and tightly bonded to their daughters and wonder grandchildren. Blessings to you all. We love you all so much! Lavonne and Gary
