To Geni and family -
My memories of Jim will always make me smile. I'm sure all the times he was at Physical Therapy I was more of a distraction, than help, but his stories were entertaining!
I believe that he is now telling Bryce his stories.
Love you all. Wish we were there with you.

To Becky and the Family, and his Kingsmen Family, I share your loss. Jim was a friend from the time we started the Cruse in at Hosmer. He was a great supporter of our event and I will always treasure his friendship, humor, and friendly face. Thanks Jim for enriching my life, rest in peace pain free, and happy, I am sure God has blessed you in Heaven.
