Mary Kaye & family,
Brian and I are so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He was such a wonderful man. He reminded me a lot of my dad because everyone loved him and he always had a smile on his face. It’s not surprising that 2 people so much alike, would now share the same date of passing. My dad died on February 11th as well. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Gina & Brian
