Shelly I am so sorry about Jim. He was always smiling and had a great personality. He always stopped to say hello when he would see us in Fred Meyer. He will be missed. Prayers of comfort in this time.

It was always so great to see Jim come into NAPA. His smile and sense of humor was the perfect antidote to a bad day. He will be missed

I will miss you cousin! You introduced me to Mel McDaniel´s music when we were kids and even gave me your copy of the cassette tape. I wore it out. To this day I still think of you every time I hear "Baby´s Got Her Blue Jeans On". I hope you know how much you were loved by all of your family.
