*Saddens my heart to hear of Jims passing. He truly lived life to the fullest and was an excellent role model of not taking life for granted. I know he loved his family dearly and was always willing to let others know of his love. I am blessed he called me friend. Our prayers are with Starla and the boys in hopes that you will find peace and comfort in Jesus Christ our Lord. Jim was indeed a very special person who will be missed by many.
