Jimmy was always a joy to be around. I will, and have always cherished our conversations,laughs,and hugs that I was so lucky to have. I am thinking of you all, his family and friends, and am so sorry from the bottom of my heart. Love and healing to you.

Jim was my closest cousin growing up. We spent many summer days playing in the barn, hoeing corn, loading hay, and talking under the bridge on the corner. We slept in the barn and in tents. We walked all over the farm. When we were 12 years old, we both got single shot 22 rifles, and we shot a lot of deer, birds, and beer cans. Once, we started high school, we seldom ever saw each other. Jim graduated in 1963 in Alma, and I graduated in Flint the same year. What great memories we shared together. I will miss him.

Carolyn and family,
So very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Steve and I had known Jimmy since the 70's, mostly from the Moose. What a crazy and funny guy. He swore like a trooper but that was Jimmy. He was so hilarious. We are going to miss him and his red pick up truck at our carwash. What a great guy he was. Now he and Rex can catch up. Just know he's looking back down on the family with a smile and he will always be close to you in your heart.
Our sincerest sympathies to you all.
