Helen and family: Bob and I just heard
about Jim from my brother George. We
are both so sorry to hear of your loss.
Jim was a wonderful person and I shall
always remember him during my days with

shall keep your family in our prayers.
We know Jim is "where no eye has seen,
nor ear heard what God has ready"for
those of us who will follow him. Love
and God bless - Bob and Shirley McCullum

I thought of Jim as "precious". He was one of the kindest, sweetest people I had ever known. I use to see him often when I worked in the office and he and I both enjoyed getting a "hug". If ever there were a person ready to see God, I believe it was Jim. His faith and love of God showed in his eyes, his smiles and his heart. He well be so missed on earth. May God grant peace and contentment to all his family. Helen, Carol, I am so sorry for your loss.

Prayers and hugs to the family...Jim was a wonderful man. He was one of the first to welcome me to St. Paul. He always had a smile and a hug to share with me. The love that he had for his family and his church showed thru everything he did from working in with the landscaping around the Grotto to helping in the school cafeteria. To those of us he left behind, he left an example of what a husband, father, grandfather, friend, steward of God we should be. My heart is sad that he has gone before us but I am so blessed that for the last 6 years he has been in my life. Love you Jim & Thank You!
