Dear Liggett Family, I was so saddened to hear of Jim's passing, As a fellow Tri-Village Lions he was so supportive and helpful as well as never failing to be appreciative of any task I took on for the club and would tell me so.He is going to be sorely missed. I regretted deeply I was unable to attend his memorial service. My prayers are with you.

I met Jim many years ago when I visted the Tri Village Lions Club while going through the chairs to District Govenor. Saw him at various TriVillage events and worked with him at the Memorial Tournament until he retired from this volunteer project. Jim was a great Lion and volunteer. He will be missed.

Noami, Karen and Lisa,

We are very sorry to hear about Jim, we do know the pain and sorrow and pray that God will give you strength and guidance. We will always be grateful for the friendship, advice, guidance and mentoring that Jim gave our family over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Brent and Sharlyn

On another note, I can see Jim dad and a few others from the Lions club sitting around a table enjoying a good hand of poker and having a few cold beers . . . I know they are in good hands . . .
