Jim leaves his wife, Phyllis, two sons, Thomas and James, five daughters, Lora, Jennifer, Holly, Judy, and Susan, and eight grandchildren. Jim was well liked and respected as a community leader, and he will be sorely missed.

To Phyllis, and to their children and grandchildren, we send our sympathy. All of us who knew Jim will mourn the loss of a friend and loyal classmate.
