"Jim was a very strong man. I had never heard him complain about anything even when he was ill. He was such a rock for Pam after JoAnn passed , always there for her. I will always remember that blue stocking cap with the ball on top. He loved that cap and his bibs of course. We will miss you Jim."
"Mark and family, I'm thinking of all of you and keeping you in prayer. Jim was one special guy that would do anything for anyone. Such a big heart?? When I heard he passed,all I could think of was the beautiful reunion in Heaven with Jo,Mike and Pam and all our other loved ones. That brings me peace and comfort.
