Our Sincere Condolences to the Serfass Family.
Meg we both are very sorry. You might remember us.
I've known Jimmy since the early 80's. We worked together back in the day after Jim retire from the police forces. We always reminisced about the lake, his boat and fishing that he loved.
Didn't get a chance to hunt with Jimmy but we always had our stories of our hunts.
Jim was a good person and I'm sorry to see him go.
R.I.P. my Friend. Till we greet again.
