Jim returned to his hometown of McRoberts, Kentucky to find a need for recreation and needing a breathe of life. Thanks to Jim and his effort a Community Center was built, a computer center was built, a ball court and playground was completed. A walking track was completed with picnic shelters. The McRoberts community thanks you Jim. You were a true blessing to this community.

Your Friend. Fred Back

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

Sad to hear of his passing. Theres not a day I dont think of HHYFC and the family he made it for us. And the fun he let us kids have at the field when everyone left. Having mom and I come swim at his house so we didnt have to go to the community pool and he would always have the pool floaties and toys ready for us. He was such a great man and will be missed. Condolences to you all. -Beverly (Gray) Ledford
