Jim and I have been friends for almost 40 years, we use to be neighbors and he would come over almost every day for coffee and chats…. He loved going out with us to local establishments and he would be the “designated driver”! He also loved to dance, we would line dance every week for about 3 years 🙂 When I relocated to Florida he came to visit me and we had the best time, going on an airboat ride, walking on the beach and he took a helicopter ride along the coast and he sure was smiling! Gonna miss those chats Jim❤️ cya on the other side. RIP
We are so sorry for your loss. Jim was a kind man,
wonderful neighbor and true friend. He loved his family and will continue watching over you all. May
you find comfort, strength and peace within special memories of him.
