Dear Shirley,
I am sorry I am so late in expressing my condolences to you and your family. I will miss Jim in the Celebration Singers, and he was always so good and fair to me when I took my car to him for repair. I wish I could have gotten to know him better. I am praying for you and your family.

I only dealt with Jim on two occasions and it had to do with some mechanical work to my car. All I can say is that Jim had made a great impression on me. He was warm, friendly and truthful. He was willing to work with me no matter how small my budget was. He always had that smile and twinkle in his eye. I will miss him greatly! Steve Langille (Carroll, OH)

So sorry to hear of Mr. Heston's passing. I always enjoyed the talks (Mr. And Mrs. Heston and I) we had at Applebee's. The Heston's would come in every week after choir practice and I always looked forward to those visits! He was a wonderful man and was always good company! He will be greatly missed!

To Shirley and all the Heston family. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Jim is in the arms of the angels now. I can picture him test driving the chariots in heaven and keeping them in tip top shape, with Sammie (the quard dog) at his side. Jim was such a kind, patient, gentle man, always smiling. He never once lost his cool with me during the 7 years I worked there, even with all my mistakes. May God bring you comfort and peace knowing Jim will always be in your hearts. Love and God Bless, Mary and Steve Bennett and family
