We were deeply saddened to hear the news that Jim had passed away. Our condolences to Maxine, Joe, JR and Jane. All the Weinmans were special friends of the Davisons.
We do feel very fortunate to have just seen and visited with Jim and all the Weinmans back in June 2013.

I remember Jim was always there for our activation ceremonies on a Sunday morning. John 15:13-15 "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.Now you are my friends".
Jim embodied these principles of ATO as his love and friendship was for all people in the Indianola Community and Beta Alpha chapter. His friendship was always shared so graciously and became a shining example of what it means to be an ATO in life. Thanks from all of us. Jim. Bob Kem 1972

To the Weinman family,
If I remember right, Jim started working with Browne, Schrier & Risinger shortly before I left the firm where I worked as a secretary. So I had known Jim for a long time and was sorry to hear of his passing. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
