I will never forget Jim. When I was a child, he would dress up as Santa and come to my house before Christmas and surprise me. He was like a grandfather to me. He would always show up to the Annual Toys for Tots Pool Tournament fundraiser that the Valley Hub puts on and was dressed in his best attire! He was so active within the community, but especially Toys for Tots! He will be missed greatly!

please accept my condolences. Jim was a force of nature. He recruited me for years to help him to deliver toys for tots. I worked at the MT National Guard.
