Aunt Dawn, Michael, Susan and David,
Our hearts ache for you, but we have many great memories growing up and spending time with the Pleasant Family. Sleepovers, picnics, Birthday (Dance) parties, barbecues, holidays or just hanging out. Uncle Jim was like a second father to me, Bruce, Linda and Lori.
He was the go to guy for my single mom for home repairs, rescues and support. He was kind, selfless, hardworking, smart, positive, compassionate and funny, boy could he make us laugh.
We thank God for the times we spent together and thank you Aunt Dawn, Michael, David and Susan for sharing him.
Love Always,
Aunt Gwen, Arnie, Bruce, Little Bit, Linda and Lori -

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember Mr. Pleasant as a wonderful and kind man. I know he's in heaven now with his family and my dad, who considered him a dear friend. May God bless all of you through these sad days.
