We at Eagles Trace Houston will always remember Jim, his warmth, kind heart, positive energy and gentle spirit. My husband, Tom Wills, and I are neighbors of theirs in the Amarillo Terrace resident building. We enjoyed the Soaring Eagles Wine Club with Jim and Peggy. Jim was one-of-a-kind. We will now embrace Peggy as she transitions to a life without her husband of 61 years. We plan to attend the funeral in Dickinson on Friday. God Bless Jim and his family.
