Not sure what to say?

I insured Jim and his business for many years. Always enjoyed meeting with him in his "shop" in the Quonset hut. Our discussions always included much more than his insurance needs and were fun. He will be missed by many.

Jim built a couple of reservoirs, did multiple dugouts as well as demolitions for us over the years. He remains on the short list of the hardest most honest men I´ve had the pleasure of working with. We would often see him and Bev at breakfast on Sunday mornings in Gales Creek, always a smile and incredibly welcoming! He´s a man I think of often and will never forget. RIP my friend, Travis
