Dear Lisa, Sending you condolences in the loss of your husband, Jim. Prayers. Sincerely, Dana Henson Zimmerman (Went to grade school and high school with Jim.)
Deepest sympathies to Lisa and family. Rich and I graduated with Jim in 1965. Rich and Jim were classmates. Jim loved cars even in high school and worked the gas station when gas was 25 cents a gallon. Blessings and prayers from Rich and Rita Stockman Rackers.
So sorry to learn of Jim’s passing. Came up to Jim and Lisa’s after a ice storm and Jim and I cut a cedar that he was afraid would fall over on his Motorcycle in the garage. Long time ago! Rest in peace Jim!
So sorry for your lost Lisa. I just talk to you and Jim in the store. He always been so kind to me. I remember one day I pulled into Canteen for work and he told me my car had a ping sound. He told me to go inside and get some oil from Lori. He told me not to drive the car off the lot until I put oil in it. He even put the oil in for me. He always talk to me like a dad. He was always so kind and never said one bad word about anyone. May God bless his wife and family. He was a great man.
