Hi Connie:

Jim was a very good friend whom I worked with for many many years. I remember the time that you and Jim came to Santa Rosa for a visit, permitting Wanda and I to meet you. I know you and Jim had a wonderful marriage and long life together.

May our Heavenly Father bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jim and Wanda Linsley

Hello Connie and family, Lorry and i would like to express our sincere sympathy to you,family and all. Over the many years Jim and I worked together we attended a number of functions and gatherings that Jim was instrumental in organizing (Annual January Crab Feed)to name one, or was the self appointed Greeter and many others, and was an all around good man. Jim always made you feel comfortable and welcome in his company. From a working relationship, Jim was the go to guy if you had a problem and he would do his utmost to help you through it or solve it. It was my honor and pleasure to have known Jim and to have the opportunity to learn and work alongside him. Lorry and i will miss him deeply.
