Am thankful I got to know Jim and his family. He was a great example for all men. The snow and ice are preventing me from going to the funeral. I would really like to, but can't get out of my driveway. Anyway, Gwen, you and all your family have my sympathy.

Mr and Mrs DeShong made a big impression on me when I arrived as Moe's friend from Australia all those many years ago. They welcomed me as one of the family and made me feel right at home. Jim was a very caring man with a zany sense of humour. I admired the way he set a fine Christian example for his family. Our condolences to Gwen and all the family. He will be greatly missed.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.
