I did not know Jim for very long as he recently became my neighbor, but from what I did know, he was a class act, and very likable guy. I wish I could've gotten to know him better! My thoughts are with his family and friends. We are so sorry for your loss.

We rented a building from Jim to start up and operate a feed and tack store for 18 years. We appreciate all he did for us. Our condolences to the family. Rest in peace Jim. Bob and Deb, B&D Polebarn.

Jim was a good neighbor to everyone on 4th Avenue- he was always willing to help out and usually had just the right piece of equipment needed for the job. He will be missed. So incredibly sorry for your loss.
