I was involved with Jim in Scouting for many years. He was a great teacher. I know he will be missed at church and his many other activities.

It was truly our privilege to have known Jim and Roxie after their move from South Carolina. We will miss Jim's thoughtfulness, intelligence, insight and wit, always with a twinkle in his eye. We can't neglect to mention the homegrown strawberries that he shared every summer. Rest in peace, friend.
