Jim and Donna were blessed to travel all over the world: China, Russia, Hong Kong, and Australia to name a few. Jim was a member of Hurstbourne Baptist and was an active member of the men's weekly bible study. He loved playing and always made time for golfing.

Our first memory of Jim was when Jim and Donna became our neighbors and very good friends. We had a lot of fun times together. We were sad to see them move to a new home, but our friendship continued. Brenda always looked forward to seeing Jim and Donna at Hurstbourne especially Jim ushering at the door for so many years. He will be mssed but wonderful memories will keep him alive in the hearts of those he left behind.
May you rest in peace Jim our friend.
Brenda and John Frank
