When we moved to Russellville in 2007 we were fortunate to have purchased a home in East Shore Estates. Jim was one of the first neighbors to greet us while out walking his dog. I always enjoyed visiting with Jim, he was one of a kind. He loved God, his family and his dogs.
It is always sad when we lose a loved one but I know Jim had a good life and was loved by his family. Prayers of comfort to you all.
