Im sorry i missed the service. My name is Bart Hosman and i worked for Jim for 4 years. Jim was a huge influence in my life, gave me modest career driving trucks through Hillcrest, i never realized it till his passing. Jim was a big brother figure i didn't have and wish i could have thanked him for that. To all his family i am so sorry for your loss but know this that Jim touched a lot of lives positively and he will always be in my thoughts. Bart Hosman.
