Uncle Jim!! My grandest memory of you was your guitar playing and singing! May you find rest from your toil here on earth. Blessings to Mary Lou, Jamie, and Carmie.

My brother in law always wanted to know how I was doing after a health issue; he cared. We both had a love for fishing and often planned to go, but something always came up. Jim was kindhearted and caring, loved his family much and our prayers are with MaryLou and family as they navigate the path of grieving and mourning. God is with you all the way!! Rome and Genny

I liked the fact that we could keep in touch as often as we did especially in our later years. My brother, Jim, was a very kindhearted, loving, caring and sensitive man. He showed those qualities in so many ways that I will provide all the details to the family who will be blessed, encouraged and comforted to read them.
He will be missed terribly by family and friends; I for one will look so forward to eternity where a very live spirit of Jim is flourishing. Right now he is just beginning to live and abide in peace with his savior.
Rest well from your labors, Brother Jim.

Your daughter,
Carmelia
