So sad to hear a long time neighbor has passed. Jim was so kind to me many years ago by installing a security light over my garage door. Then when I tried to pay him he wouldn't take any money. I know he is going to be missed by us long timers in the neighborhood. Peace to you Jim, and my sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Sorry to see you have left us Jim. I just tried to call you and discovered the sad news. I know we'll see each other again one day. My best to friends and family.
