Not sure what to say?

I'm so sorry to hear about Jim....He was such a great and memorable guy!!! I remember the "good times" long, long ago...and Welcome Mobile Homes, behind the station!! Mike used to get in soooo much trouble hahaha. Gotta remember those good times and laugh and smile, because that's what he'd want us to do. Now Heaven better look out cuz your dad, and Mike, and Bub....back together again, OH MY!!! Mom is up there, though, to keep all three of them on the straight and narrow!!! You all are...

I was deeply saddened with the news of "Big" Jim's passing, but found rejoicing throughout the weekend as I reflected on my friendship with him. Bobbie, he always perked up whenever you entered the room. My deepest condolences to you, the girls and the entire IRVW Family. Remember, though separated by death, our hearts will always be linked with Jim. God Bless

Shelly, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this time of sorrow. Being a car dealer for almost 30 years myself, we started dealing in motorhomes and trailers retail at our lots and worldwide via e-bay. Your father truely was ledgendary. Everyone knew him too, from Michigan to Florida. His knowledge helped us sell a great many units to the govt. (after Katrina) trailers/ RV's and Suburbans. One of a kind kinda guy! Once again, my deepest condolences.

Shannon, Cindy and Family,
Jim and I send our thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss.
Jim and Linda Chapman
