Oh my cousin “Jimmy”….I have so many happy memories of all of us kids playing when we were young. I’m grateful that we were not only kin, but that you were my brother in Christ as well. I look forward to the day when we will see each other again in Glory!

Lowell and I have know Jim for at least 30 years. We were together in MA, DC and in Charlottesville ,VA. Those were good days. Great memories. Being young, starting a church in Charlottesville, having kids. Our hearts were very heavy when we said our last goodbye to him but even during our 1hr conversation we laughed, joked, talked about being with God and his great love for his family. Jim was never afraid to take a stand or speak up and he was the most loyal friend ever. Jim will be greatly missed by us and so many others. He is forgettable and will hold a special place on our hearts. We wish we had more time with him on this earth…..
