To The Bounds Family
I met Mr. Jim many years ago when Powellville Volunteer Fire Department used to have thyeir big dinners on a Sunday two times a year. He would always show up to help with these dinners always give a helping hand. He had one contagious smile there you couldn't look at him and not smile back. He was also a supporter of our Saturday nite bingos that we had for many years.Heaven has welcomed one of the loving, friendly people that I have ever meant in my entire life with a contagious smile. RIP Jim you have earned your reward.

Jimmy was responsible for my love of horses! He always made sure that I got to ride when Mom took us to visit Aunt Lilly and Uncle Chester. I never saw him without a smile on his face. Love hugs and prayers to my cousins, Linda and Diane and the rest of the family.
