Jim and Carol were wonderful people that lived an adventurous life. What a beautiful love story! We enjoyed lots of fun times at the Broadwater years ago and it was always enjoyable to see Jim or Carol and say hello. Jim recently reminisced the days he spent on horseback with the Elkhorn Freighters. Lots of exciting, dangerous times spent with friends navigating the backcountry! He was a great storyteller with a fantastic sense of humor. He’s finally reunited with the love of his life. ❤️ He will be missed.

I went to grade school and high school with Jim and was so exited when he returned to Helena after a very successful career. Was a member of the Broadwater Health club for years because of Jim. GOD BLESS.

Jim you and your late wife Carol were the best. We had great times at the Broadwater even when your were upset with some things I did. You guys were the greatest neighbors. You are so missed. I remember the fire when you had all your horses tied to door handles coming down the road. I will miss you and pray for you always.

Dear Carol, my heart and thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family as you navigate life without Jim.
I still think of you two when I’m at the Broadwater.
Jim and you were always so kind and friendly in the midst of all the work involved in running the business.
Blessings.
