Jimmy was a very sweet guy! We had several classes together each year throughout our school years. We had a blast! He was my partner in our graduation walk. My leg was in a cast due to recent knee surgery and I was a very slow partner. I was so worried about being so far behind and slow. Jimmy said, "Don't worry Brenda, we got it, we got it". He picked me up and carried me through half of it! He was always very considerate and caring of others. It was always great going shopping on Friday nights and visiting with him at Hunters Grocery Store. He always had a warm smile and a kind word. Jimmy is someone very special to me and I will never forget him.

Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.-Author unknown

I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing, but my memory of Jim and his Family quickly brought images of the many fantastic times we shared as youngsters. I will always remember Jim as the fastest man on ice skates.

My thoughts and payers are with your entire family.
