I grew up around Jim as a teenager during summers on Lake Erie. He was always easy to be around-kind, fun, and full of warmth. Even after all these years, those memories still mean a lot.
His passing is a deep loss. My heart goes out to his family, but most of all Beth and Daniel.
Thank you, Jim, for the laughs and the good times. You´ll always be remembered. B Dock Always

Beth, I was shocked to see that Jim had passed. I remember him when he was working at the seed house with his dad. My sympathy to you and Danielle.

Sending our most sincere thoughts, condolences and prayers to Beth and family at this time. Jim was a most favored cousin mostly because he'd play any ballgame we had going on when he visited. We will have a tree planted in his memory by the Arbor Day Foundation.
