Jim was a quiet person, very kind and loving to his family. I am happy that he will be resting next to his beloved wife and will join her and his mom,dad and sister and niece now in heaven. Jim always loved to hear my husband Bob and brother Tom play guitar, and would join in with them when singing. He was happy when he was with his extended family, joing in conversation and songs. He will be missed greatly, but will always be with me in my prayers, which brother Tom always shares at our family gatherings and we ‘girls’ always cry–lol in memory of Jim, and to all the family gathering together today.
Dear M & T, I have fond memories of Jim, starting when I was quite young. He was a kind soul, and like Katherine, and Cecil, will be missed. God bless, Paul,Katie and family
