I thank God for the years, Jim, My-brother-law was in my life. He was a wonderful man that loved family very much. He was good at teasing me,which I will miss. He will be missed immensely by those who knew him, but I know he is at home with God and no more suffering.
Love you Jim!!

You are/were the best father in law that anyone could be lucky enough to have. Always there for anyone who needed help but never asked or wanted anything in return. God broke the mold when he created Jim Newland! Rest in peace, Love you bunches always -Dad/Jimbo.
