Jill and I are praying for your family Mary Jo. We will really miss Jim with all his support, his sense of humor and his passion to share the gospel. He was a big encourager.

Pastor Jim has a big place in our hearts, and he was the best pastor we ever had in the church I grew up in. Working with him there was a joy, and he was very faithful to God's word. That says a lot. He will be missed.

Mary Jo, our hearts are heavy with the news of Jim's passing.  Spending time with both of you at church and seeing you in the neighborhood was always wonderful. His kindness, calming presence and reassurance helped both of us. We hold both of you in a special place in our hearts. We lift you and your family in our prayers, and look forward to the joy of our reunion in heaven. Take Care Mary Jo.

What a Wonderful Neighbor!
It has been our privilege to know Jim and Mary Jo. It has been tremendously reassuring to know that Jim and Mary Jo have been next door neighbors to my mother, Betty. As a retired pastor myself, it has been special to be able to visit a little from time to time with this ministry team of Jim and Mary Jo. I will remember Jim's quiet example he set before my eyes, that being getting out and walking regularly. Mary Jo, thank you so much for being great neighbors, showing the love of Christ, and for your years of service to Christ and His Church!

Pastor Jim has been a big part of our family.  He has helped us through good times and bad.  He baptized our oldest son and officiated my grandfathers funeral.  I always enjoyed when he would stop by at work to say hi.  We will miss him.
