You were so much fun, always! You had a sense of Humor like your Mom and Dad, and that was a great thing! You will be so missed-Love You, Your Cousin, Jeannie McLarty..
Jim was a great friend. He always had a smile for me and a “Hey Kiddo”. He was always willing to help any of our neighbors as best he could. The love between him and Carla was an inspiration to Tony and I. He was such a great friend and I will miss him terribly. My love and prayers to Carla, Dason, Nicole, Alex, Morgan. Zach, Sara and Cooper and the entire family. Jim, I love you. Give Tony a big hug for me. R.I.P. kiddo ❤️
