Jim and I were in a youth group together. He had a notable sense of wit and humor. I'm glad to have had the time I did with him. His mom and dad were just as fantastic. I still use him as an example of the combination of his, wit, humor and caring. I will miss him.

Jim and I were in youth group together. He was a wonderful person that inherited his dad's quick wit. Married to this wit was a heart of gold. It's a special to have been his friend. I will miss him, but I hope the family grief is buoyed by the wonderful person he was and the lives (like mine) that he touched in such a caring way.
