Not sure what to say?

Dear Teresa and family, I was sad to read about Jim's passing. Though we only worked together for a short time at SABH, thoughts of Jim always bring a smile to my face. He was so uplifting and had a great sense of humor. My husband always remembers Jim as the guy who gave us ~14 kittens. If I recall correctly, they were all white or most of them were white.

I thought of him often and missed his kindness. I was talking to Martha Gillenwater just a few months ago, asking her if she...

So sorry to learn of Jim's passing. Another Clinton Dragon at rest too soon!

Jim was a really good guy that I enjoyed working with, he was the HR Manager and was always a great resource for help when someone was in need. I know he will be missed and my prayers are with the whole family.

Dear Bob & Amy,

I am so sorry for the loss of your dad and father-in-law. As you know, I know the pain of losing a dad all too well. May it bring you comfort in knowing that you will see him again, never again to be separated. May your memories bring you comfort during this difficult time. I couldn't help but notice the similarities of our dads, their birthdays just a day apart and their enjoyment of golf. Thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.


With Love,

We are still shocked and very saddened to hear of Jim's passing..Jim was a wonderful neighbor and it will be hard not seeing him and his beloved dog Daisy riding (on his bike) around the neighborhood..He loved her so much, they were always together.. one of the last times I saw Jim he was on his bike looking for a lost dog in the neighborhood..He always had a smile on his face and would always stop and talk..I know Daisy is wondering where her Daddy is, but I know Jim is still looking after...

I am saddened to hear of Jim's passing. From our many years of working together at Finger hut, to the many rounds of golf, to our many discussions of his brother Bob, Jim never changed. I am so fortunate to be able to call him a friend. To Teresa and the family, please know that you are in our prayers.

The neighborhood will not be the same without Jim bike riding with Daisy. With deepest sympathy from neighbors Tom & Marzel Mallory.
