Scott & family - so sorry to learn of your loss. I enjoyed my friendship with your dad when he was in the Bryant area and with your grandfather and grandmother when I built their house - so many years ago on Kirk Rd. Please know you are in our prayers

Growing up in Shady Grove there was a lot of good men in the neighborhood.They all knew each other and they all knew Jim.
Easy going , kind and often had a funny story ...even if the story wasn't funny, the way Jim would tell it would crack you up.
I've hunted rabbits and coyotes,fished, been to lots of cattle auctions out of town, set at his table and had many meals with him , and spent a tremendous amount of time at his home with Scott and David.
Never once did I see him get angry or too upset with me or anyone else. He would just turn and tilt his head and kinda smile.
Never knew what he had on his mind when he did that. I imagine he was a lot like his momma. Kind hearted , gentle and didn't want any trouble.
As we get older and live our separate lives, we often lose contact with some of the folks we care about.
Jim was sure good to me and I wish I would have let him know how much I appreciated his kindness and generosity.
So...to the family.
I sincerely thank you for the honor of being a part of Jim's farewell.
To Jim , I say " May you rest in the Light of Lord and Saviour. And , hug Your Momma for me. "

I am so sorry for your loss. We just have to keep reminding ourself that God’s word says that our soul’s are eternal and we don’t really die, we just change residents, and as Christian’s we will see our loved ones again. Hugs and prayers.
Scott I am so sorry for your loss of your father. It’s been many years but your dad was always very nice when I cleaned for your grandparents. I will be praying for you and your family.
