WE ARE SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT JIM. HE WAS GREAT MAN, WE ENJOYED SPENDING TIME WITH HIM, WE ALSO ENJOYED TALKING TO HIM WHEN HE TOOK HIS WALKS AROUNG THE PARK. WE WILL MISS HIM AS WE WALKED TO THE GAS STATION AS HE STOOD ON THE PORCH OR IN THE WINDOW HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE AND A WAVE HELLO. HE WAS ALWAYS SO HAPPY AND OUT GOING. HE WILL VERY MISSED BY THE PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES HE TOUCHED. HE WAS A KIND AND GENEROUS MAN. WE KNOW THAT HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE WITH NO MORE WORRIES. HE WAS A SPECIAL PERSON, WE WILL ALSO MISS HIS SPECIAL STORIES HE TOLD US. MY CHILDREN WILL MISS HIM TOO. THEY ENJOYED HIS COMPANY. THEY WILL MISS GOING TO MAXWELL STREET HOT DOGS AND HAVING LUNCH WITH HIM. HE WAS AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL. WE ALL HOPE THAT WE COULD BE AS ENERGETIC AS HE WAS WALKING TO HUCK FINN, AND AROUND WEST LAWN PARK, WE REMEMBER SEEING HIM EVERY MORNING WEATHER PERMITTING AT 900AM WALKING AROUND THE PARK AND TALKING TO US ALL.

MAY HE REST IN PEACE. HE WAS A GREAT MAN.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU STRENGTH IN YOUR TIME OF NEED BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER HE WILL HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN YOUR HEARTS AND THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING HIM AND CALLING HIM A FRIEND.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL
