We are saddend by Jim’s passing, but we will cherish the memories of Jim’s unselfish service to his neighbors and others. He was diligent in shepherding the water users association for decades, and was meticulous in performing that volunteer task. Jim was a man of high principles and treated others with kindness.
God bless Jim’s family and give them peace and comfort.
