Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Jim was such a sweet man and I will always remember him for his smile and laugh. I have very fond memories of spending time at the house in Rago especially when he and Dad tipped the sailboat. Now the two of them can share time remebering together. Betty and family you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Mr Jones and Jimsy are the names I knew you by. I picture you working on the engine of a ’56 Thunderbird or a Spico Speedboat. I see a crazy blonde dipping her finger in your coffee to see if it was hot enough or maybe to sweeten it a bit! ( That would probably be her story!) There is a white ten gallon hat on your head. Good guys always wore the white ones. Condolences to all the family from the Cox family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Jack, Mike, Tom, and Beth
Karen and I were very saddened this morning to read of Jim’s passing. He was truly a really great guy.
