Jim's name comes up often during our random get togethers, (Kay Roberts, Daphne Mehlstaub, Chrissy Schleicher, Julie Partington, Sally Mabry, Leslie McIntyre, Laura Groseth, and many more), with the fondest memories. Know always that he is not forgotten. God bless you and your family ❤

I've known Jim since kindergarten. He lived a couple blocks away from me, and sometimes, we hung around during the summer with the other neighborhood kids. We always spoke when we saw each other, which was rare in junior high and high school because we didn't have the same classes, and then we moved, so, that put an end to seeing each other around the neighborhood. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. Just heard about it today. My deepest condolences to Jim's wife, kids, mother and other family members.

RIP Jim.
