Fine Man and Godfather the likes we may never see again.
His memory burns bright in my heart.
He is with his past generations enjoying the fruits of kindness that he showed so many.

I am very sorry to hear that a very kind light is no longer visible to us, but his memory remains bright and vivid in my heart.

He was truly an original and one of a kind. He will be truly missed.

He will now have the ultimate canvas to express himself on.

So Sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He is in my prayers, and I will always have fond memories of his good nature, his sense of humor, and his welcoming personality. He was such a talented man, and passed along his talents to his children and grandchildren.
