I have known Jim since he married my sister. Although we were many miles apart during the following years,I know he loved her and his family very much. We had time togeather during family visits at mom's home and I learned of his love for singing, being a police officer, and talking about anything as well as crossword puzzles. I know Jim had great faith in God and his country. He will be greatly missed and my heart is heavy for his loss. Love you sister and family

The one thing I remember most about Jim
was his incredible LOW BASS voice. He
loved to sing! I know he will be so missed by all of you and my heart goes out to you. Miles may separate us but
hearts that are filled with love are always close. I will keep you in my prayers. Linda

I was a special friend of John back in the 60's and got to know his down to earth loving family !!!! So sorry to hear about your loss but he's in God's Hands now..Amen*

I loved Uncle Jim. He was always interested in what I was doing in my life or studying when we saw them. He seemed to come down to your level as a young person. But, he had that deep voice that was comforting. I am a Christian. I know where my Uncle is. He'd always say, your a beautiful girl. Sure didn't get that from your daddy. He would smile as my dad was frowning jokingly.
I'll miss him. But Believers will be together with God. Love and Condolences to my Cousins and family.

Uncle Jim was the most kind-hearted man I knew. He had the biggest heart of any man I knew. I'll always remember him working his crossword puzzles and singing gospel songs. He loved my Kristian and Kristian remembers the movies he made for him. You will be missed Uncle Jim but we are humbled to know that we will meet again some day soon! Love to all!

Rest in peace Jim. I don't remember life without you and my dear sister Sharon together. Thank you for loving her with all your heart.

My Great Uncle Jim was a very special and kind hearted person. Even though I didn't get to see you much you were and always will be in my heart. I know you are in a much better place but it was hard for everyone to let you go. You always brought happiness wherever you went. I love you and miss you very much.
