I worked with James at DSC. There were many times that he made me laugh and smile. May you find comfort and peace during this difficult time. James will be deeply missed at DSC.

Jim was a wonderful soul. Even though I only knew him a year he was such a delight. I will always think of him while eating crab ragoon or listening to God Bless the USA.

To all of Jim's loved ones,
I was very sad to hear of Jim's passing! My family and I have fond memories from our days shared at First Baptist. My daughter was reminiscing about playing handbells with Jim. And yes, potluck Sunday was always Jim's favorite there too! You have all been so good to Jim all of his life and he loved his family so much! May you find comfort in knowing he is healthy and happy in heaven!
