Jim has been a great neighbor for many years - you will be missed! We were always happy when Jim joined us for Christmas and Birthday celebrations - he always had the best stories to share! He had a way of making people feel great when he was around. We joined him for dinner in Honolulu in 2016- even there he was known by the serving staff at the restaurant! We had many driveway conversations and he always had a smile on his face and a kind word to leave you with! We are sad you are gone but we know you're now back with Diane in the great beyond! Rest well our friend!
