We are so very sorry for your loss. “Big Jim” was such a gentle and kind man! The best neighbor ever along with his sister when we lived in Maple Heights. He will truly be missed but be encouraged family by Almighty God ’s promise at Isaiah 25:8, “He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces.”

I remember one Christmas, after my oldest daughter was born, Jim came over and gave us a small cloth goose to hang on our tree. Around its' neck, hidden beneath the wreath on its' neck, was a very small beautiful ring. He said it was his gift to our daughter to celebrate her birth and life itself. Every year we hang that simple, yet beautiful, goose on our tree and thank God that we are blessed to have Jim in our lives...and he will always be a part of our lives because memories, especially special ones, live on forever. Rest in Peace, Dear Friend.
