Carolyn and family, Bobby and Brian, We are so sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Jimmy will surely be missed but never forgotten. It was always a highlight to run into him all over town on his bike or hear him calling your name and waving as he would ride by! A great man with a great outlook on life! Love to you all. The Weldons.

Mrs. Dowdy and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Please just know that Jim will be greatly missed by all of the associates and his fellow driver associates that had the honor of working with such a wonderful man as he was. We will continue to miss him in Mount Crawford. He fought a hard battle and is now resting in peace. May God wrap His arms around his entire family during this time and the days to follow.
