Misty, Smokie, Bo, Chris and Jen, I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was a great friend and we had some great times together cutting grass. I cant believe he is gone. I will never forget that dreadful Rd "Hemlock" or stopping at his parents to have lunch and his dad using paint thinner to start the grill and making me half raw burgers. LOL All great times I will never forget. You will be truly be missed. Until we meet again my friend......
