Dear Lois and family,
You have my heartfelt sympathy in the passing of Jim into his heavenly home. I feel both sadness and gladness. You will miss his physical presence but for so long he wasn't the Jim that you knew and loved. I applaud your family and you for your faithfulness in visiting, attempting some sense of normalcy by celebrations, pictures, etc. You couldn't have done a better job than you did in a most difficult circumstance. May God's love, peace and comfort be with all of you. With love and prayers, Arden Post

Jim was my first boss and I learned a lot from him including a strong work ethic. Have many great memories cleaning GCS over those hot summers. God bless your family during this time.

I didn’t know your dad but, I’m sure both you and Cathy are examples of what a great man he was.
