Not sure what to say?

Jim was a tremendous human being, a tough exterior with a compassionate heart on the inside. I recall a time when a prominent citizen had a major medical problem, on his own time, he built an access ramp for their home. He wasn't a fan of paperwork but his word was his bond.

Jim was such a great fellow. Both Dale and I had lots of opportunities to work with Jim on City of Sequim projects and it was always fun. We will dearly miss Jim and his terrific sense of humor. Blessings to Carol and the family.
