Jim was an exceptional man. Outstanding as a person, father, husband, Christian, friend, neighbor and any other category you would use. At our church, he was beloved, and appreciated for all the good he has done in maintaining the church. His friendly manner and smile was always a joy to see. Such a good man, we know that God has a special place for him for his coming years. We are praying for God's strength and love to help Jim's wonderful Lee and their beautiful family during this challenging time. Love Russ & Rainy
