Isabel, Rebecca and Ryan, Wayne and I were deeply saddened to hear of the death of Jim. We have been friends for years, working side by side with him on many church projects. He has been so very helpful to the women's group working many hours on our rummage sales and also running the dishwasher for our dinners and many funeral lunches. He has been and will continue to be loved and missed. You all have our deepest sympathy. Wayne and Suzanne Clark

To Jim's family with love,
I never met any of you but want to tell you how sorry I am that Jim has passed.
He has been a part of my social activities for a few years; pickleball,ping pong,kayaking,bicycling. I think of Jim as a gentle giant, warm and always a gentleman.
He is going to be missed by many. My prayers are with you in this difficult time.
