Our sincere condolences to Ruth and family. Kev and I enjoyed the fellowship of Jim and Ruth very much in our Soulcrafters Sunday School class at WBFM. Folks like these are the "salt of the earth". Their deep passion for God and the Gospel was admirable. (We moved from our home near Warm Beach in the fall of 2020. There have been numerous times we have reminisced of our precious times of blessing with the folks we worshipped with at Warm Beach.

My deepest sympathy to the Youngsman family and in particular to Ruth his wife for this great loss. I am a friend of Pamela and I have not had the privilege to meet Jim in person. For what I have heard and stories from Pam, I can only imagine that this must have been very hard and difficult. I want to wish the entire family all the strength in the world, and I will think of you.

Ruth, I'm so sorry to hear of Jim's death! He was such a wonderful man, father, and I'm sure husband. He was a great foster dad to me and I loved him very much! I will miss him!
