Not sure what to say?

My thoughts and prayers will be with you. With deepest sympathy.

I will miss you, and the times you and the back table came in. Jim, you and Marie were quite a crew, funny when the moment called for it. Guess what, we both worked at the NARF for a while too. You were there for 36 yrs. and I worked there too, for 10 years (1986-1996). Now we are Elks (together) and we miss you.
Well now you are looking down at us and smiling.

I first met Jim when I joined the Norfolk Elks Lodge in 1999 (although probably earlier than that since my Dad was a member of American Legion Post 204 as well). He always had a kind word and a hardy handshake for his fellow members. I remember thinking, "...he looks just like James Whitmore from the movie Shawshank Redemtion..."! I even mentioned that to him one time, and he just looked at me and chuckled.
May God bless and keep you Jim; your smile will be sorely missed at Lodge...

Jimmy you will be missed, you were loved by us at the Elks and even though some of us only knew you a short time you made a terrific impression on us thank you for being our friend
