Not sure what to say?

Carole, we were so sad to hear of Jim's passing. We pray the memories you shared, bring you comfort. Tom and Beth (your Piankatank neighbors)

Personable, smart, intuitive real estate banker. Old school and one of a kind. Outside of that, a great story teller with a laugh to match. My sympathies to Carole and family. Rest in peace, Jim.
