Remembering a caring, compassionate man. You were there for so many with a comforting smile and loving way. Jim, you will be missed. Hope you get your “soggy cereal” every day. I will think of you whenever I make scrambled eggs in the way you taught this old cousin a new trick. Love you.
Thoughts and Prayers remains with the family. Understand this is a most difficult time.
