Dear JoAnn & family~
Jim was a great guy! He was a good friend to my dad for many years. He'll be missed, but maybe they'll see each other again.

With Love, Sympathy, and Special Prayers for Jim, Joanne, Maureen, and Pat
Jim: May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And rains fall softly upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand
