Linda, Jake and Christopher,

Jim/your Dad is a special man and may God Bless Him. He is surely gone too soon from this world yet will always be in your heart and mind just when you need him. We also pray for you and for your strength as you deal with the kids of a good man. I have so many fond memories of Jim as a fun and gregarious uncle that all I can do is smile and be grateful for him, his life and his love. God Bless, Craig, Alison and Asher

Linda,
Thanks for always encouraging him to get out and play golf.
Whenever I wanted or needed a golf partner, Jim was always ready to go unless he had an appointment of some kind, I could always count on him, not only for golf but anything he could help with. You will be missed my friend and I will always remember the good times we shared on the course. He would always tell me, I'm bringing Tom, he will beat you.
