November 28, 2021 at 12:35 pmNever got really close to Jim, but I will always be thankful for the wonderful daughter he & Keri raised. She did not just come into Josh’s life when they married, but into mine and Linda’s also. We will be forever in his debt for that.
R.I.P. Jim, and thoughts and prayers to all family members.

November 29, 2021 at 5:37 pmIt was a pleasure knowing Jim. The guy was always happy and full of witty comebacks. This world will be a little empty with him gone, but heaven gained a great angel. I was fortunate to be able to care for him in his last days, just wish I could have done more.
