We will miss you both as an employee and as a good friend. You always worked hard, had brillant ideas, loyalty, sense of humor, and a beautiful soft side. They don't make them like you any more! Your talent went beyond the place of employment with woodworking. The special pieces made for us have always been treasured- but more so now. With all your hard work throughout your life, Rest peacefully now in the hands of our Lord!

Although I will miss Jim I am comforted in knowing that he knew and loved our Lord Jesus Christ and I am grateful to have some of Jim's beautiful woodwork displayed in my home to now serve as a sweet reminder of my friend who I shall see again some day.
