A Message from Michele & Family

Hello, friends and family. First, we want to extend the sincerest of apologies to those of you who we have not been able to reach, and are hearing this message for the first time here.

In the wee hours of January 12, 2012, our dear Jim lifted his eyes toward his Heaven. Below is the obituary we have prepared, and wanted to share it with you first.

We encourage you to share your stories and thoughts about Jim in one of the following place. The stories we have received have brought us immeasurable comfort.
