I was hoping to make it today to the viewing. Your dad ( and mom) are dear to me. You may remember about 1969 or 70, I was selling candy for the Elida Band. I believe your family was new to the area. Your parents asked me to babysit for you ( and it was my first job). I did see your parents later in life. Your dad was always so kind and caring. Such a wonderful kind Godly man. He had a very positive impact on my life. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Jim was such a nice man, he always waited on my husband and I at Von's. He will surely be missed by all family and friends!
