We are sad to hear of Jim’s passing, but rejoyce that he is in a better place with Jesus where he will be at rest. We all loved Jim and were proud to have him on our team at work. Many good memories fill our hearts and we pray your family will find comfort in Christ. Wish we could be there but we will send our prayers instead. He was a great man!!
