Jim was an extremely talented craftsman who loved his time in the woodshop. He was soft-spoken, when he spoke, people always listened to his wisdom. He loved to “pull your leg” with his quick wit and humor just in the nick of time. Jim was a faithful member of Pine Forest Baptist Church where he has attended as long as his health permitted. Jim was a veteran of the US Navy. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, step-father, grandfather, brother, and friend to all who knew him.
