Name: Ernestine Berry Smith Date: 4/26/2024 4:09:14 PM Message: Jim was my next door neighbor for 20 years and one of my best friends for over 22 years Our dogs were best friends and had sleep-overs when each of us traveled. He was a fine, Christian man with an unbelievable faith. He was always smiling, was the social director of the neighborhood, and kept up with every single family in our cove. He loved to work in his yard and I always said, he didn't walk behind the lawn mower he ran!, We walked together for our health for a long time and enjoyed each other's company. He and Wilma were the best neighbors ever and I have missed them so much since they moved on up to the east side at their new home. Well, I guess the Roll was called up Yonder and he had to be there. I shall miss him and am comforted that he is no longer in pain and is in heaven, talking to Miss Beatrice, his Mother. For the Family, I am so sorry for your loss, and we are all better for having known this fine man.
