Rozanne & family,
My thoughts are with you this day. I have many memories of Jim and all of them are good. While some of us got a bit out of line (as teenagers tend to do) Jim stayed true to his beliefs and his church and was always setting the right example and he was respected by all of us who may have strayed a bit. His humor, slow talking style and the kind person he was has been an example to many that he may never have realized held him up as an example of the way we should be. I am a better man because I knew Jim and I thank him for that and you, Rozanne, for loving him so dearly all these years. We will be seeing him again one day and oh what a reunion we will have.
