  1. So very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. I always enjoyed talking with him when he played cards with us at the Bunyak’s, & also at many get togethers held there. May God comfort all his family at this very sad time. God Bless. Sylvia.

  2. I will never forget every Christmas when we went up to Papa’s house and he had a full room filled with presents under the tree for everyone, there was no space on the floor that wasn’t covered. As we opened the presents he had bought us I will always remember the look of pure joy in his eyes and smile on his face! I will cherish this memory forever and will miss him as well!
