A true fríen shows love at all times and is a brother who is born for times of distress. Memories is what helps us live each day and to know that our loved ones that have left temporary to rest will live with our hearts forever. We will pray that each day that goes by your family feels better and that Gods Holy Spirit can equip you with "power beyond what is normal to go from one day to the next.

Jim was one of most gracious and generous people I've ever known. When I asked him if he knew anyone who was selling firewood he said stop by a certain orchard and help yourself. He wouldn't accept payment and said as long as he had wood to share I was welcome. That's just one small example of his generosity.

Mr. Paiva was always a good guy. When I was growing up he and his family lived across the street (Bay Ave). He always had a smile and a great laugh.

My heartfelt condolences to the Paiva family during this time of sorrow. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you all nothing but comfort and strength.
Rest in peace, Jim.
With love,
The Lawrence and Petersen families.

Jim Paiva was one of the most generous people I've ever known. He worked very hard for what he generated and was quick to share it with those around him. He was a great farmer and developed some of the best orchards and processing facilities in the county. He will be missed by all his friends and family. Gordon Bergthold

We have bought almond hulls for years for our small petting zoo farm. Jim has always been supportive of my kids and their livestock projects. Prayer to his family, friends and employees. He definitely left his mark on this community.

Jim Paiva helped our family in many ways, a very humble man and ready to help others. He will be greatly missed by Pete’s family ,our prayers and memories will help you heal our broken hearts, our condolesence to the family, from Hernandez and Santos family.

Jim was an amazing man. If you need anything Geri feel free to call the Mitchels.

I am so sorry to hear of Jims passing. I was in his high school graduating class and saw him at every reunion. The last one we had he was showing off a one of a kind really snazzy car. He was so proud of it - smiling ear to ear. I will miss seeing him at any of our future reunions.
