Jim was a second father to me as a kid. He was a blessing to all that met him. He will be missed. I will never forget the time he and Rita took my nephew Calvin (3), Andy, and myself fishing. We all were enjoying the deer that was swimming down the middle of the creek we were fishing. Until Andy shouted for us to look at the deer. Jim never got upset. I can't say the same about the rest of us ... I for one was upset with Andy for a few minutes. Jim will be missed. You and the family are in our prayers.
