Jim was a sweet and friendly neighbor. He was always smiling and sharing a laugh with us when we saw him. A friendly wave driving by with his lovely wife. He gave my children wooden toys that he had made and shared bird feeders with them so they could see nature. We will miss having him next door, miss our chats. His memory will live on . May his memory always bring peace and comfort to his family and friends.
