    I worked with Jim at the Mo DOC when I first started. He was a kind man who always took time to show the new people the ropes. His love for the Lord was very apparent. He will be missed.

    So many wonderful memories of our times together in Care Groups. Jim was such a wonderful, caring man. Sift spoken but when he spoke a person would listen. My love and prayers to the family.
