Jim and my husband, David were the best of friends and co-workers in law enforcement. I always enjoyed going along on their fishing trips in the ponds around Norway. We totally loved Jim and he led the procession to the burial site for my husband. When Jim arrived in heaven, David probably greeted him saying " come on, I found a good fishing spot". Take care Cheryl and family. Mary Zorn

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I was Jamie's 2nd grade teacher at Boulder Bluff and I remember that Jamie would often talk about his dad. Now he is watching over all of his family with the other angels.

Cheryl, My prayers are with you and your family. David loved him like a brother and we both enjoyed having Jim as a very good friend. I'd say they are probably in heaven fishing together right now. Sincerely, Mary Zorn Hughes.
