R.I.P. Jim...
Words can't say how much we will miss you...
To Kris and Eric, we want to say how special your dad was. Most people knew Jim as Coach, but we knew him as a friend that we will always remember and have a smile on our face.

Kris, Eric, Sue, Ron and families. I will always remember your dad and brother. He did a lot for me over the years. I will always think of his laugh and big smile. He was a great guy and I will never forget. Thinking of all of you during this tough time.
