Jim was a dedicated member of MVPA and we spent many hours talking about our military experiences and our love for restoring military vehicles. We both loved a parade and showing off our Jeeps. He was a good friend and will be missed. Rest in peace Jim.
My heart goes out to the family. He was one of my favorite clients. We always talked about my older, Down Syndrome brother, Kevin. Jim was very supportive! Will be missed!!
Prayers for the family. We loved having Jim as a neighbor.
Jim worked for the Courier service we used. He and his dog Jake were always a pleasure to see. He was always making us laugh and smile. We really miss him.
