I will always remember Jim with a smile on his face. I am 100% sure when he went through those pearly gates Jesus was there and our sweet Margaret was standing right there beside him to welcome Jim home. Kelly
May God give you strength today and all tomorrows.
Jim was a member of our church for several years. Cathy snd Jim were also friends. They helped with what ever was needed. He played Rhythm guitar with my husband’s Pastor Bill Rooker. I loved hearing him sing his song Dancing shoes. He will be sadly missed, forever in our hearts and memories.
With love, Your Grandkids, Stephany Bailey, Brittany Forrester, and Nathan Forrester. We love you and will miss your handshakes. We love you so much.
I did not have the opportunity to know Jim, but if you can judge a man by the character of his son and grandchildren, then he must have been a loving, caring family man with compassion and nearly equal love for his fellow man. Aaron and Rhonda have been my neighbors for 20 years and no one could ask for better, more christian neighbors! I am so sorry for your lost.
Sorry to hear about your dad, Aaron. Wishing you and your family only the happiest & fondest memories. Sincerely, Coach Whit
Gateway Tabernacle family & friends
