Last thoughts

What a pleasure it has been to have known such a great man. His demeanor permeated every room into which he walked. His kind, gentle smile was warming every time I saw him. As I read some of his "Get Well" cards yesterday, it was evident that he will be missed by many. All your words were a testimony to his impact on your lives as well.

As much as we (I) love this world, it can be cruel. I know he has gone to a better place; one that he has been wondering about for many years. He often asked me and my fellow "small grouper(s)" deep questions that most non-theologians could not answer. Today, Jim has had all his questions answered! Jim will enjoy watching his 3 "girls" grow in stature and in Christ.

He has left a wonderful mark on my life, this community and his workplace. I am a better man for knowing him. Thanks Jim. I owe you. Love you.
