Not sure what to say?

Jim was a wonderful human being and friend to all. He is missed and in my prayers.

I had the honor to care for Jim as a nurse. His sense of humor and playful spirit made any difficult day easier. He was such a light in our clinic and a true joy to care for. I was deeply saddened to hear about his passing but know that his spirit and zest for life will carry on in our hearts. I will never forget one day where he was not feeling the best and was not doing too well. I asked him how he was doing and he replied "well I feel like dancing." That was a perfect description of his...

Jim always had that smile and a Christ like attitude and a willingness to
be of any help he could to customer both in the grocery store and at
the Bible Bookstore. We always seeing him and knew that he loved the
Lord and was a true servant of Him.
To his family I offer my condolences and a prayerful support.
Jim will be missed very much.

Jim and I grew up together and know I am praying for the family. His life has touched so many.

He will be sadly missed by all who came in contact with him. He was an outstanding gentleman in every aspect.

Very sorry to hear about Jim's passing! I have many fond memories of our time together in high school. Jim was always a very giving person and he will be greatly missed by me and my wife Judy who also knew him. We will be praying for the family.

To his family, what and honor it has been to known this wonderful man. Our sincere condolences for your loss!!!
