Jim didn't know my family very well they were neighbors in Southgate mobile home park my parents desperately needed help moving into their double wide and he volunteers and helps us! What a great guy of course then on we're friends and Jim was like family to us. Not alot of people you can count on in this world but Jim was definitely one of them. He will be deeply missed by all of us. God bless sorry for your loss.
