He was a loving Husband, Father, Brother, Grandfather and friend to all he met. He is survived by his sons Terry (daughter Lisa) & Randy (wife Angie, Son Mason).

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Deepest condolences to all the family. Jim will be missed. I met Jim while working at Central Concrete. A good friend & loved by all his fellow workers, a great father to Terry & Randy.

His corny sence of humor will be so missed!!! You could have the worst day ever, then see or talk with Jim. All of his crazy sayings and quotes would turn your bad day around. He has brought so much happiness to our families lives and that will never be forgotten.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during these tough times.
Hang in there!
