Lesley and family; My heartfelt sympathy at the loss of your husband and father. May you find comfort in knowing he is no longer in pain and that he is in heaven with his mom and dad. Jim was a fun, loving and wonderful person. I fondly remember many fun times in high school. May the love he shared live in your lives forever. Rest in peace Jim.
Fondly, Lenore Hughes
