Back in the 70's I asked Jim if he would help me build a soap box derby car for a race my 'little brother' wanted to enter. He didn't help me....he built it! He loved to work with his hands and he loved to help others. That's the Jim I will remember.

Hi Joy, just wanted to say hi. We were sorry to read about Jims passing. We remember you from Westway Christian Church....back in the late 80's. Dave and I got married there in 1990. I had 4 little boys (Arian Shaun Jeff and Kyle Hunt). We are thinking about you. xo from Liz and Dave CIni
