Rest in peace Jim❤

I met Jim on the job were we worked together back in the late 80s. I found Jim as being very interesting and didn't have a problem letting you know what he was thinking actually I think he enjoyed sharing his thoughts. Soon after we were friends. One of the finest times we had was at The Harley Homecoming tents everywhere ,it rained and we took turns picking out which arriving biker would dump their bike in the wet grass and mud. A miserable wet time that he turned into a really great time.

I didn't get the chance to know my pops all my life but I did get the opportunity to meet and get to know him in late 2007 until his passing. We didn't always see eye to eye on things but I know we loved each other. I'll miss you pops!

I was truly blessed to have known Jim and was married for a time. Memories will be cherished, especially the son we had together, James. Jim is at peace and we will all miss him.Thoughts and eaters for love and peace.

I will miss my brother with my whole being

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
