Read MoreI only worked with Jim for five years, but he was so easy-to-know that I felt we had known each other for years. He was such a kind and gentle man. He gave so much of himself to others. He will be greatly missed and always remembered!!!

I was very fortunate to have known Jim, even if it was for just a short time. I always enjoyed talking to him as he made you feel like he was genuinely interested in what you were saying. I will miss seeing him every week.

Jim was one of the best people I have ever known. I enjoyed working with him at the Student Loan Fund and also at Western Power Sports. He will be missed greatly and I know he impacted everyone he met with his kind heart and soft manor. Laura and I wish well to Tami and his family.

Jim was larger than life! He was such a wonderful singer in the Youth Choir and the Pocatello United Methodist Church back in the 70's and made choir and youth group fun. It was great to live just up the hill from him, seeing him at school and at church.

I was blessed to have known Jim over these past many years! I can't imagine this place without him...But I know he is safe, free from pain and at home with Jesus. I will especially miss singing and playing music with Jim and the incredible duets that we did over the years at Walk to Emmaus, Gatherings and Candlelight's. I will keep you all in my prayers and ask God to give you comfort and peace.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time.I hope that the promise found in 1Thessalonians 4:14 can bring you some comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can give us much hope to see them again in paradise.

Jim touched many with his expressed love for the Lord and his Music. We will miss him and his sage advice given to us in times of need.
