Dear Linda and family,
We are saddened to learn that Jim is no longer with us. His untimely death has been a blow to all who knew him.
It was a weekly highlight to be with him and the “Bogey Busters” At Westview. It is hard to imagine a more congenial group of friends enhanced by “Lube” as a perennial member.
We send our sincere condolences, God’s Blessings and best wishes. We hope your faith, caring friends and valued memories will bring comfort as you carry on Jim’s legacy.
