I am so sorry to hear that. I was just thinking about him the other day, that I had not heard from him in a long time. We used to joke and call each other cousin. Prayers for his family.

Not too long ago I saw Jim & his wife shopping. We chatted for a few minutes & he told me about a health problem he had. I'm glad we had a little time together. I also recall several years ago at a reunion committee meeting (could it have been 30 + years ago?) he was very nice, a gentleman. Bless his family during this much difficult time. Rest In Peace Jim.   Kathy Alexander

In the brief words of the obituary it is clear he was loved and treasured by those who knew him. May God's comforting Spirit surround you and your loved ones in this time until that time when you will be reunited with Jim.  God bless you, Sharon.  Dub & Cathy Ambrose
