Jim was a very special person. When my grandfather was in the nursing home years ago he would go out on different days and lead in a singing time. My grandfather loved to sing. He looked forward to those days. My dad worked with Jim at General Tire and then we’ve had a chance to visit with him at Beacon Hill. He will definitely be missed but you know as well as I know his goal was always to be with his heavenly father. What a great reunion that must be today. Our prayers and sympathy go out to the family.
