Alice and family, we are saddened by the loss of the man we referred to as "Big Daddy". We always knew he was coming home from a run when we heard the sounds of his diesel big rig! Another big loss for you and your family. Please accept our sincere condolences. Neighbors, Vonnie and Bill Maytum

Oh Alice and family, I was so saddened to read about Jim just now. I could say so much about what a loving caring man to his family. But there is just not enough words. He cherished each one of you. I will never forget all the things he did for our Girl Scout troop. Jim was always so nice and kind to me. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all. Sherri
