  11. Candle 2Dear Brenda and family, I am SO sad to read this obituary of one of the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful and helpful people I’ve ever known! Jim was the BEST heating and cooling expert–there was never any challenge he couldn’t meet. We felt so confident when Jim came to our house because he always figured out and fixed all of our issues and even came during his designated time off–maybe he didn’t have any “designated” time off–he was such a hard worker and so conscientious. Even more important, he was our FRIEND–we thoroughly enjoyed his visits and his sense of humor. He was a wonderful man, and we will miss him so much. Please know we are keeping all of you on our hearts and in our prayers. Love and Blessings.

  12. I am so sorry for your loss and am praying for strength for your family. God Bless.

  14. Candle 3Please accept my sincere sympathy in the passing of your loved one. Jim was a good man and he will be missed by all whom knew him.

  15. Jim was a kind and helpful neighbor. I always enjoyed chatting with him and Brenda. He was always willing to come help us with our emergency ac needs, even after a long day of work. We will miss him.

  16. Candle 1There was never a better friend or neighbor than Jim. He will be missed by many, and greatly by us.
