    I worked with Jim for many years. I bought him his retirement gift (pocket watch) from the County. He was an awesome person and a great family man. He would always talk about Dorothy and the kids. He was so proud of them all. My heartfelt condolences. xo

    I worked with Jim at the Court House for many years. Jim was a great, genuine guy. A strong man with a gentle soul. Latterly, I had the pleasure of running into Dorothy and Jim at McDonald’s once in a while and we would have a chat. It was so nice to see them again. Sincerest condolences to Dorothy and all the family.
