Mary Jane, Susan, and Jeanine,
Words alone are not enough to express the sorrow in my heart. You have mine and my families deepest condolences. Some of my fondest childhood memories stem from the friendship he and my dad shared.

Mary Jane & Family; Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. We always had a great time whenever You & Jim would invite us up to the lake to ride the jet skis or ride around the lake in the boat. Ryan was always so excited when "Uncle Jim" would take him for a ride on the bike also. I remember when Ryan was young and we would come down to visit, Uncle Jim would always go to that special drawer with his chocolate supply, and give Ryan something to take home. I always enjoyed the time I spent with Jim and will miss him dearly.
