Not sure what to say?

My heartfelt condolences to Jim's family. He was so kind and such a blessing to all of us. Jim and my sister Harriet always made me feel welcomed, especially during the holidays, or special occasions, and I know he is welcomed now in heaven.

96 years young! Rip Jim and thank you for your service!

Jim was the most humble man I have ever met. I really enjoyed listening to his aviation stories as I shared my naval ones especially while we were deep frying turkeys during Thanksgiving. He truly was one of a kind whose empathy and understanding for my autistic son Ryan was never lost on me nor his genuine interest in my daughter Katie's life. Although I have not met many of you do know I am very sorry for your loss.
