He was a great friend for 3/4 of a century. I am so blessed that I got to spend some time with him last month.
Jim was a good friend and neighbor who always was a straight shooter !
We will miss him and miss the fun at his camping site with the country music band!
Jim was a wonderful friend and neighbor. We played cards, hung out at his garage. He loved working on that Chevy truck. He and his lovely wife Joyce were there if you need them.
