  2. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time of loss and mourning. Uncle Jim was a wonderful man,I loved listening to his stories when I was little and I especially love a memory of him helping to ‘hide’ me once when I was in trouble. I know he will be greatly missed by many.

  3. He was my uncle. As I was growing up, Uncle Jim always had time for me. On his vacations he would take me fishing, swimming, and some of his bowling trips. He always made time to be with me. I will always remember the great times we had together. Hopefully, if I live my life like his, I will see him again.

  4. The world’s greatest grandpa. He taught his family so much thru out the years. He taught us that we deal with the hand we are dealt in life. Well grandpa this hand isn’t so easy to deal with but I will do my best to honor you in the fact that I will stand strong and deal with this as best as i possibly can. I have and will always love you. ‘God’s plan is perfect and can’t be improved on.’ words spoken by you and I will do my best to live my life by those words. I know you are walking with Jesus and are in a marvelous place. This is not good-bye it’s I will see you again! I love you and miss you greatly! Love always your 1st granddaughter Brandie
