We're so sorry for your loss of Jim. We sold lumber to Jim since the seventies and always considered him a friend. You could always depend on Jim's word as real and binding, no contract or even handshake was needed. My Dad loved visiting with him and talking on the phone with him. He will be greatly missed by our family and our family business. our prayers are with you.

Dear Sis, Cam, Joey, Samantha, Steve and Helen,
Words seem inadequate to express our emotions and sentiments during this difficult time. We are so thankful for you all and pray the Lord's Amazing Grace will comfort and sustain us all through the coming days. All the wonderful memories of Jim and you all keep flooding back from our past. The Lord has truly Blessed us to be a part of such a loving family from Linwood. I can imagine that there may be some horse shoe pitching going on now with Jim, Little Richard, Don, B.B and Hush Puppy. What fun it was to watch my heroes and experience the wonderful matches they had. We can take comfort in the knowledge that in the sweet by and by, we will meet on that beautiful shore. You are all in our prayers. We love you.
