Our deepest sympathy to the Family. We will miss Jim at work. He was such a kind and gentle man, with never a harsh word to be said. Must be God needed a little more kindness up in heaven with Him.

Dear Tom and Family, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I can only imagine the depth of your sorrow, and that of your mom and the entire family, at his passing. I hope and pray for your peace as we all know what a good man he was in this life.
We can be sure he is with our Lord now and for eternity as he was the best of men. Your friend John God's Peace be with you all.
