Uncle Jim was the mentor that taught me the fun of the outdoors and turkey hunting in Missouri!

He was a great friend to our military. And was always willing to help. He was an even greater friend to Missouri and to all the people he represented. I always enjoyed his visits to our bookstore. What a wonderful person he was. He will be missed greatly.

My thoughts and prayers go out to family. Jim was a very special man I always enjoyed taking care of him and Doris at the hospital. He will be missed in this community and the whole state. I dont think Jim ever knew a stranger and I'm thankful to count him as a friend
