Nicole, and Jims brother and sisters, it is so sad reading the news and hearing Jim has been taken. It has been many years since I last seen him and laughed with him. But I did cherish the time we spent all of us together. May God be with him.

Nicole and family, Jim will be missed by all. His smile always brought a smile to your own. We worked at Kinney's together for quite a few years in the 70's. Diane and Jim and Vic and I spent a lot of time together back then when the children were little. He will be missed but now he can reunite with Jimmy. Life can be good. Enjoy the memories you have of him until you meet again. Love to all of you. March and Vic Brown.
