Jim and I always talked about the fishing trip we were going to take together. We would sit in the front yard and make all kind of plans on what we were going to do. He loved to fish at the coast and so do I, but something always came up and we were never able to go. We would tell our fishing stories and the fish always seem to get bigger and bigger when we told them. I am going to miss not going on that fishing trip with him, but more than that I am going to miss sitting in the front yard with him making plans and telling our stories. I miss you Jim.

Jim was a wonderful caring person. Even though he had bigger jobs than what I needed, he would always take the time and fix what ever it was I needed. He would give me the care and attention as if it was a big job. I will never be able to look out my windows without thinking of him, but my fondest memory of Jim was when he would be on the tractor. He would be plowing the field up with the most serene look, he looked like he didn't have a care in the world when he was on it. He would always wave and say I am going to have to wash your car when I am finish because of all the dust I'm kicking up. God has taken Jim home now to be with his son. I will miss that sweet smile and that wave on the tractor. May God grant peace and comfort to all the loved ones that Jim leaves behind.
