Jim was like an Uncle to me. He was a sweet man with a big heart. I loved the times we would spend with Jim and Becky when we were kids. The airshow in Florida. Being models for his youth group photography class at church. Root beer floats at the drive in. I love you Uncle Jim, fly high with the angels. Give my dad a big hug!
our condolence to JoAnn, Marilyn and family. He was always so sweet and gentle as a young man. He was one of the good ones. He will be missed but always loved and remember. Hugs and prayers sent.
I am SO SO Sorry…I didn’t find out until a few weeks after. He and Becky were always kind to me. He sent a combination of pictures when my father passed (who was his uncle by the way). May God give strength during this difficult time. Cousin Cathy DeBlecourt. November 17th.
