Jim was always there to help, a friend, and loved talking about family. If you didn't know him by the time you were finished with a meeting you would have thought that he was your friend for years. May he rest in peace and the family remember all the good times he shared! We will miss you Jim.

Dear Joan and All:
Saddened to read Jim's obit on The Trib website. Triggered a rush of nostalgia,
including happy memories from the "Colonial Room" at OLPH, etc. You are
all in my heart.

I am sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to your family. Find solace in the fact that our Heavenly Father knows what you are going through. He is “greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.” (1 John 3:20) Continue to rely on Him for strength during this difficult time.
