Our thoughts and prayers to Mom and the family that is present. I wish we could be in attendance. However, the distance does not diminish the love we feel for you all in this time of sorrow. We knew "Grandpa" Jim as a man of character, honor and integrity. He was a man of uncommon virtue to take into his life our family at a time we all needed support and kindness. We all will remember him as a true gentleman. We loved him and are blessed with the wonderful memories we shared with him.
