Jim was a true gentleman and a great person to be around. I have some really great memories of fishing with him and swapping stories about the lumber business and his years on the State Police force. Mildred, Cheryl, Jaye and family, may you find comfort and peace in this sorrowful time. Zona and I have you all in our prayers.
