Jim was a fellow Austin Mustang and a good friend. I didn't see him as often as I would have liked to, but it was always a treat when we got together. Condolences to his family. He will be missed.

I was so sad to hear this news. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to see him and visit with him at the end of 2024. I’m praying for you Aunt Linda! I’m praying for Jennifer and JimJim and yalls entire family. Heavenly Father I pray that you cover Uncle Jim’s family with a hedge of protection and a peace that only you can provide. I pray that you guide their steps going forward in life without Uncle Jim here on earth with them. I pray that Jesus welcomes Uncle Jim home with open arms and that he rests in peace. I pray these things in Jesus’ Holy name. Amen 🩵🙏🏻🩵

Such a kind man who is very appreciative of people, God definitely needed him in Heaven. My condolences to his family and to his wife whom he cared very much. Jim always love hearing my the priests in my family. He is like a brother to me, just like the other Church ushers. May Jim rest in peace!
