Dear Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing and sorry that I did not hear in time to attend the funeral. Growing up in Lansing, I had known Jim all my life. But, my favorite memories of Jim were while working at Ashe County Middle School. We always knew when Jim was around because we could hear his laughter resonate throughout the building. He and Allen his co-worker were always playing jokes and creating fun for everyone. I know that Jim will truly be missed.
