My name is Dorothy and I am Jim's wife....I miss him terribly. I think he was just the kind of servant God wants us all to be so I continue to try to serve as Jim did.

Dad touched so many lives in so many ways. He was a friend to all, and couldn't say "no" to any request of his time. We can all learn from his servant's heart. Our loss is Heaven's gain.

Jim was a good friend and we will miss him very much. He gave so much to so many ...without hesitation, and now there is a big void. We will always have fond memories of him to keep in our hearts. God Bless his family, whom he loved very much.

To Steve and family,
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing and Aunt Mary and I send our sincerest condolences. While I didn't meet your dad, the love and compassion I have seen in you, Steve, are a testimony to his and your mom's Godly unbringing. While we weep at his homegoing, yet we rejoice that he is home with our Lord and we will meet again soon in the presense of Jesus. Love to all and God Bless.

Dad lived his life constantly helping people. He left behind an admirable legacy and so many wonderful memories. His life, and home-going, reinforces the importance of how we use the short time we're given on this earth. I miss him and look forward to the day that I will see him again.
