To All the Family, I'm truly sorry to read of Jim's passing. I have many fond memories of my cousin Jim while growing up in the west end of Auburn. I haven't seen much of him or the family since I moved from Auburn in the late 1970's. After reading all the positive things Jim did and the good influence he had on many people, it makes me proud that he was my cousin. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. God Bless You.

As a young man in high school he was one of the police officers we all knew and respected. He was a great role model for me as a grew up and never missed an opportunity to...
