I am truly sorry this is A loss for many, I'll never forget Jim !
I first met Jimmy in 1981, sitting beside him in Homeroom class at NMHS.
He was the nicest guy you could ever have the pleasure of knowing.
20 years later, my wife and I sat with him and his wife at our Class Reunion and shared many laughs and jokes throughout dinner and he hadn't changed at all.
He was still the same super nice guy and will forever be missed by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him.
I'll remember him always and extend my deepest sympathies and prayers to all his friends and family.
We miss you Jimmy and thank you for all the jokes, laughs, smiles and happiness you brought into our lives.
So sorry to lose you!
My condolences to the family & firefighter family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Marion County Senior Citizens.
