As a former Agapé singer, I have many great memories of my time with both Wrench & Nancy. They were caring people & great mentors for so many of us as we went through
adolescence. He'll be dearly missed.

so very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a delightful person to be around.We went to the same church he and Nancy did and loved them both. I remember all the fun picnics we use to have at their place. Great memories. He will be missed. At least he is finally at rest and with his beloved Nancy in God's loving care.

Our sympathy to Jim's family. Our memories of Jim and Nancy are of happy times at MHS and their home was a perfect setting to celebrate the 50th reunion of the class of 1958. We can just imagine how happy Jim is to be reunited with his mate.
