Jim was very proud to have been a part of the StarTran team for the last 18 years. He attended the Lincoln Berean Church.
He was truly at peace when he was at the cabin surrounded by the sand and water. There is nothing Jim wouldn’t do for those that he loved at the expense of himself. He didn’t show his heart to everyone but those that he did have been blessed because of it.
