    My mother use to live in the same apartment as Jim. He was always a gentleman and helped so many at the apartments. He has gained his wings very well deserved. I am so glad I got to know him. Very nice man

    Sending love and sympathy from the Attig family, we are so sorry for your loss and yet we recognize that heaven is richer because God has called another one of His children into His presence. So many fond memories of Jim and how he would get blessed during a church service at Crestview and then at Glenview. May God give comfort now and in the days ahead.

    The Gates family has nothing but love and great memories of our friend. He has now received his eternal reward and reunited with so many friends from the Crestview Church era.. Thankful for a great reunion one day soon! May God’s Grace and peace sustain each of the family during this time of loss and celebration of life! Tim, Jerry, and Linda

    Causey Family: I have so many precious memories of Jim, Inez and your family. My dad, George, considered Jim as one of his closest friends. They loved to swap war stories and country boy stories and laugh a lot. I imagine they are probably back at it again in heaven. You are in my prayers and you have a special place in my heart. Praying that Jesus just surrounds you with comfort.

    Jim was such a positive influence on me during my formative years. Our prayer are with your family during this time. Our loss is heaven’s gain.
