We are so sorry for your loss. Your parents have been wonderful neighbors to us for 15 years. We have enjoyed many a curbside conversation over those years. Your dad will be missed.

Jim, Marcia, Ian and Tyler and Thelma, It has been many years since I saw all of you. I want to express my sympathy in the loss of your father and grandfather. My mom passed away last September. Your brother David was a wonderful nurse and friend. Joyce Weber

All of our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Jim and I had been friends since the Acme/Scott era. I will miss our close, open relationship, and communication that we shared. The last communication with Jim was last weeks email about a joke. I will miss Jim.

Thelma I am so so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. If there is anything you need please let me know. I don't think the boys remember me back when we worked together "boss" . Please extend my condolences to them. You are all in my thoughts during this sad time.

Dirk, Jimmy, Mark and family, What great neighbors your mom and dad has been. We will never forget all the fun we had with them, sitting out on the deck after dark, talking for hours, swatting mosquitoes’. We cannot tell you how much we are going to miss them. They were always there for us. Watching our house when we were gone, taking care of our animals. Thank you so much for the picture of your mom with Daisy. It will stay on the fridge. Daisy loved Jim and Thelma! She would sit by the tree line and wait for hours for one of them to come out of the house. The neighborhood will never be the same. Take care.

Thelma Leach & Family. A pain went thru my heart when I heard about Jim. I remember fondly the great times we had together at Scott Aviation. Jim taught me all about investing in silver. He will be truly missed. At times like this a Scripture in the Bible comes to mind. It is found at Acts 24:15. It reads: "I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." What a glorious time that will be, in Paradise with no more sickness and death. Until that time may the God of Comfort give you peace. Ty Wallace
