Whenever I needed a shoulder to lean or a hand to hold in times of need I just reached out and Jim was there. He was my brother-in-law for close to fifty years. There was never a more kind, generous and loving man than he was. My heart is truly broken over his loss. Just an example of his love and giving nature was back in 1993; he and my sister had visited my husband and myself when we lived in Mississippi and in preparing to leave to return home had convinced me to come with them for a visit. They kindly prepared a bedroom for me that had a window next to a neighbor with a barking dog. Being a light sleeper I woke up my sister to tell her I couldn't sleep. Jim, in all of his love, kindness and sweetness got up around 2:00 in the morning and went next door to ask his neighbor to quieten his dog because his sister-in-law couldn't sleep. This is just one example of Jim's love for his family. As long as I live I will miss this marvelous man. His passing has left a hole in my heart that can never be filled. Love for eternity, Helen
