I worked with Jim in the mid-80's at Bell Road Toyota. We didn't know each other long, but when I needed someone to tow my new boat to the lake for its maiden launch, Jim was there without question. He dropped off me and the trailer, wouldn't let me pay him, and didn't even stay for the fun. Jim was a vibrant personality that touched those around him.

It was with great sadness that I saw Jim's name in the obituaries.....he was a truly great person and an even better salesman...I was lucky to have him as a mentor and friend...Cheryl may you gain strength and peace knowing that he made a difference in a lot of people's lives.

Uncle Jimmy, May you be in the arms of God and your mother now, at peace. To Uncle Jim's wife, Cheryl, Grandpa Vin, Mom, and everyone who knew him, I am so sorry for your loss and pray that we will remember what we loved best about him. I loved his smile and his easy, jovial way. He was always sweet to me.

My Dear, Sweet Friend Jo;
My heart hurts for you in this loss. I know this has been a very difficult time for you and the rest of your family. I also know, that you know, that as long as you cling to God through Jesus, you will be held up. It is by His grace alone that we can be victorious in any aspect of our lives. You have a huge ministry Jo. Everywhere you go, you touch someone with the Love of Jesus. What a blessing you are to all that know you. My prayers are going up daily for you and your family. Under the Same Wing, Kim~

I knew Jim from AMF, and he was always a pleasure to work with as well as bowl with. He was always there when I need someone to talk to, and someone to listen. Jim, I hope that you are happy where you are, and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I miss you, and don’t worry I will see you again someday!
