We still miss Pat and Jim! Dear neighbors who always had the best advice and loving kindness.

My deepest sympathy to my brother In law Jims family.
He was a wonderful husband to my sister Pat He was always very kind to me. May he rest in peace and has now joined my sister in heaven. Prayers sent to all.

What a wonderful example Jim and his adoring wife, Pat, were of how a life well-lived and well-loved should be. Each day they celebrated each other. Now they both rest in peace with each other and their loved ones. With love from your EWI friends, Leslie, Mowie and Sylvia.

Hi Sue! This is Oney! Sorry for the passing of your father. I totally understand your heart felt pain. Today is the third year of my father passing. You and your brothers stay strong and stay close! Much love!

Jim was a compassionate and caring individual, and excellent teacher, and led HACC through some difficult and painful growing years. I had the honor and pleasure of interacting with him in 1981-83 while serving as the President of the Faculty Senate. My deepest sympathy to his family. He was a class act.

My condolences to the family

Praying for your family, sorry for your loss.
