Just saw this memorial. Uncle Jim was so full of stories. Enjoying every visit. His oldest sister, Bobbie, is my mother. All of us will miss Jim. Rest in peace big guy.
Uncle Jim it was a great man. And for a short time he played the role as my father and what he taught me in my childhood I still live by today. I was blessed to have him in my life and I'm sending my love and prayers to his family. God bless, Cherie Kinnaird
