I knew Jim since we were teenagers
He was a good friend
I will miss him
He was always willing to help
Becca,
I don’t know what to say that will bring you any real comfort other than to say he loved you more than anything. I know that you will miss him but you have 3 Aunts that will always be here for you. We love you and will miss your Daddy.

Becca, I was sad to here about Jim passing. It was a very hard couple of days since I just saw him at Lindy memorial. Jim and I had been friends for 47 years. I’m going to miss him dearly. I have so many memories of things we all did together “Jim, Lindy and myself and many others old friends. Your n my prayers every day I know how much Jim loved you.
I worked very closely with Turbo Jim as we called him at Precision Flamecutting. He was an honest hardworking man. He spoke of his daughter often, with much love. He also mentioned his buddies as well. May he rest in peace. Laura
Sure will be missed! He was the best neighbor ever! My condolences to Becca and his family 🙏
