I'm truly sorry Carla. It takes half your life to find the one person to complete you and then they're gone. It seems cruel. Soldier on...you're a strong awesome person.

Jim was such a fighter. Back at STCC we used to call him Trooper Copper not realizing what a trooper he would become. Our friendship lasted almost 50 years. His attitude throughout his fight was such an inspiration to me. I am honored to call him friend. May God comfort and console you Carla. You are in my thoughts and prayers

R.I.P. Brother Jim, you have meant more than you know to all those who's lives you have touched. You have taught us so much about life and surviving. You gave a great fight all the way to the end. Carla & family have so many memories with you. She has been your rock and you her. Watch over all of us now as we continue our journey. Especially watch over Carla as she has a giant void in her life. Until we meet again.

Even though I only met Jim a few times it was so clear to me that he was a wonderful man. He was smart, kind and so very willing to help anyone in any way he could. I am sure his family has so many great memories of their time with him. Rest in Peace
