Pam and family: I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jim for almost 40 years in my capacity of City Prosecutor and Judge of the Lima Municipal Court. I never worked with a finer officer or man during that time period. He was the epitome of what an officer should be. His passing is a great loss, not only to me, but the entire Allen County community. RIP Sheriff Everett! William G. Lauber
