Dear Carol and family, May god grant you peace during this difficult time. Jim was an outstanding person and had a wonderful way about him that touched many lives. His warm smile, quiet ways to reach out and support all the things that he loved was a true blessing. Jim has touched many parts of our entire family so for that we are thankful and grant him peace. He will be missed by many but his good works will never be forgotten especially at Peace Church. God's grace to you and your family.

Jan and my thoughts and prayers are with you, Carol, and your whole family, as you mourn your loss.

The anchor and godfather of OMB (Old Men's Basketball) for who knows how many years, Jim was a wonderful presence on and off the court. We will long remember fishing, wrestling, and all sorts of other stories. My favorite- Jim told us a while back after a morning bball session, "Well, guys, you've played your last game with this 76 year old." "No, Jim, you can quit now," we encouraged. "Quit?
