Mike & I were shocked to hear of Jim's passing. Mike knew Jim through Dustin Lippert and the many friend's they both had. What a great group of guys! When we lived in the area, we would see them when we were out to dinner or an afternoon of Keno at one of the local hot spots. Jim's smile was one we will never forget. I'd like to think Jim, Dustin and Ricky are all together in Heaven. We will always remember his easy smile. We are very sorry for the sorrow and pain his passing is causing your family and pray for your memories to help ease your pain. We regret that we were unable to attend the service as we were out of the state.
