Im so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I meet him seven years ago when I opened my Farmstand. (Kadys) He would come in a couple of times a week. I truly enjoyed our conversations. What a pleasure it was to have known him. I'll miss him dearly. Thoughts and prayers to Jean ( his Bride he would call you) and family.

So very sorry to hear this. I've known Larry since 1st Grade. He worked with Mac for a bit years ago and we got reunited again at a Car Show down at the beach one evening. Had such a good time with him & Jean playing "Yatzee". Will never forget the night he won 4 Yatzees in one game. He was a great guy and we love Jean as well. Great couple! God bless you Larry and may God be with you & your family in the days ahead Jean. Love you ...
