My deepest sympathies to Jim's family. I grew up with all the Ferguson kids. Went to school and rode the school bus with them. May God give the family comfort during this time of loss.

I am so blessed to have known Jim, he was a good friend and co worker with me for many years. He was always ready to tackle any job, no matter how hard it was. He taught me many things, and I will forever be grateful for that. I will miss Jim very much. If I can do anything for the family, please let me know.
