Today I just heard the news that "Jimbo" passed away. My condolences to the family. I enjoyed knowing him on Forest at Greenwood Acres for many years. He was so friendly, loved to fish and share his "wealth" with several of us.

Jess thanks so much for all the great childhood memories,you were always so willing to take us neighborhood kids bowling,out to eat or even to the movies right along with your own and most of all never got upset with us when we got out of hand.Once I was grown your hospitality out at the lake was always welcoming.I will miss your kind heart and warm smile.

Our prayers are with you. I was remembering uncle James all the good times up north growing up. I remember him playing cards with my dad. My parents sent him an announcement to my sisters high school graduation just to let him know and he came to the ceremony. Thats the kind of man he was. He was a good man and fun to be around when I was growing up. He will be missed.

I'm sorry for your loss. "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." John 5:28, 29. "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4
