Very sorry to hear about Jim. He was a common sight around Franklin and as solid as the statue of Ben. He always had a smile and friendly word for everyone and was more then happy to let it be known if a camping trip was in the works.
Let's hope God has a great spot picked out for Jim to rest and will help you and your family through the pain.
He was a great guy and I know he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
