For 10 years my office was next to Mr Jim’s. Mr Jim was always listening to country music on the radio but some days he would turn it off and tell me to play Michael Bolton. Mr Jim was never anything but nice to me. He was a good man and I know he will be greatly missed.
Jim was a great friend of over 40 years and a long time member of the Adult Sunday School class I teach.
A tireless worker in the Church and a major participant in our weekly Sunday School discussions, Jim was as passionate a follower of Christ as I’ve known.
His wife, “Homer”, also works tirelessly as an outreach leader and witness to the power of God!
Jim will be sorely missed until we meet again in Heaven.
I passionately and spiritually await that day!
Until then,I will miss you, my friend, and keep your family in my prayers.
