Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I have heard many stories of how strong and humerous Jim was from Marianne. Take comfort in knowing that he is happy and healthy, watching over your family from Heaven. God’s Blessings to you all.
So sorry to hear this sad news. We will miss Jim at the campground. Love and prayers to you, Joanne, Matt, Jon, & Nick. God Bless each of you and give you strength and support through these difficult times.
Love, Pat & Jack.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jim through our jobs at LDI. I met him when he visited the MS plant a few years ago. I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family. May God bless you all.
I transferred to St. Thomas for my junior and senior years, which were also Jim’s junior and senior years. I met him from, not only accounting classes, but a mutual friend – John Herber. I was sorry to hear about Jim’s passing and wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Joanne and Family, Our condolences at the loss of your husband and father. His smile will be missed at the campground.
