Jim’s reputation preceded him. Even the hermit knew about the Nice Guy Yank.

Jim seemed to melt into the surroundings and was welcomed, even by the hermit.

Our best to you, Kathe and George Brown

DEAR SUE AND FAMILY,
OUR HEARTFELT PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, GOD BLESS YOU ALL LOVE GAIL & JIM DUNNE

Uncle Jim will forever be in my heart. He was so warm, loving and kind. He always had great stories and even the best inapropriate jokes. You always knew that the conversations would never be dull. He was the best father and husband anyone could ever dream of. Those of us on the outside looking in wished for such love and happiness.

Add to the others our deepest sympathy. If we had it to do over, we would do it exactly the same way! Where did the years go?
All our love,

How do we find the words to offer our sympathy for the loss of Jim Husband, father, grandfather and our friend. Bless you all!

sending you our deepest sympathy and best wishes, Tinker Pine, JR and Kathy Pine and family, Marnie and Mark Barry - our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
