Spent so much time in the past in home bible studies and church with him and Betty. Jim was a wonderful man i will never forget him. He and Betty prayed very hard for me in my troubled times. I'm very sorry Ididn't find out of his passing until 11:30 pm tonight. I feel so bad for not being there for Betty today for his services. You are gone but never ever forgotten. Thank you Jim for everything.
