Remember that we love and care about you
Emily and Jesse I’m sorry for your loss, losing a loved one is never easy. I hope you two can find peace in knowing your papaw is in a better place.
Jim was one of a kind. Jim was my mentor in the appraisal business for 21 years. He loved his work but his family more. Jim was a generous man that would extend his hand to anyone that needed it. I will miss Jim’s smile and stories. Prayers and hugs to Nick and Brenda as well as his grandchildren. He was proud of all of you and loved you all deeply. Rest In Peace Jim, you lived a great life.
