Ruth,
I´m very sorry for your pain.
I would like for you to know that your son was a very sweet and kind, thoughtful young man. I had the pleasure of meeting Jim at the Napa bingo hall. We were also in the Lyons club of Napa together. He trained me to call Bingo.. he was definitely one of the best callers and my favorite bingo caller. I thank him for teaching me how to call so well.
Jim,
May you rest in peace my friend.

Ruth and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Ruth, if James was half as kind and caring as you are, I know he was a good person. My sincere sympathy.

It is so difficult when a loved one leaves too soon. I remember the years Jim coached Little League and the years we attended cheer competitions. Going to Disney World for nationals and also Disneyland. The years he volunteered to call numbers at bingo to earn money for cheer equipment, baseball equipment. He always supported his children. He will be missed by everyone.
