Jim,
You were my first and best love, a love I will never forget.

And because of our love, we had Julie. What a joy she was with her beautiful mink colored eyes. --- So sweet( He called her his little 'pumpkin' and he was so proud to be called her daddy.

Three years later we were happy have our firstborn son. We named him after his Grandfather. What a ball of fire you were. I have so many stories to share but there is just not enough room.

And because of more...

Mustangs,Piggys,Golf,Leather Jackets, Pink Safeguard, Back Rubs, are the things I remember most but the one thing I won't ever forget is the day you taught me about Jesus' promise and His Love...THANK YOU!!! I LOVE YOU!!! ps...You forgot to tell us where your treasure was :)

I CAN STILL HEAR YOUR VOICE, SEE YOUR SMILE, AND FEEL YOUR HUGS. I MISS YOU YOU SO MUCH. I KEEP WANTING TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND ASK WHAT'S THAT NOISE IN MY CAR, HOW DO I FIX THAT NOISE FROM MY PIPES, OR WANT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT THIS OR THAT. MY MECHANIC, PLUMBER, PAINTER, TEACHER, FRIEND, MY DAD I LOVE YOU. VIVAN AND ANTHONY LOVE AND MISS YOU TOO. WE'LL SEE YOU SOON:)

LOVE AMY

Our Uncle Jim was always there to help us celebrate special events. It just seemed right to see him cheering in the stands, out in the crowd or making his way around the room seeking out a piece of my cake:-) Uncle Jim, you are missed everytime we get together and you're not where we've always expected you to be. We are so blessed to have memories of you sharing in our lives. See you soon in heaven for the greatest party of them all!
Love, Joel, Molly & Hailey

I'm amazed how every single day there seems to be some event, someone, some smell, some sound or some thing that reminds me of my Uncle Jim. To leave such an impression in so many aspects of life is truly inspiring. Never to be forgotten is an understatement. To the grandchildren... you can still see, hear, smell and remember him everyday just like I do.

-Every piggy bank that you see for the rest of your life. (One more for Jim's...

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Jim was my big uncle, and I miss him dearly. My last memories of him will be watching his sunrise golf sessions, every morning, for 3 days before I was married. He had his own private golf course. There was a peaceful look on his face. Every step he took was a...

The joy of your relationship with the Lord was always evident in your smile Jim. As we were growing up it was always fun to be with you and your family. One of the mosy difficult parts of moving away to Florida was not being able to see you and your family as often as we wanted to. I am confident that the Lord has welcomed you home and that you are at peace. We will always remember you and your family in our prayers until we meet again.

Love, Denis and Pat
