Jim was recently inducted into the Dont H8, Inc., Hall of Fame, whose motto is "one voice, one song, one dance will make a change". One of Jims greatest attributes was that of care-giver.

Jim will always be remembered for his kind and gentle spirit and willingness to help others. He always greeted his friends and family with a smile and soft-spoken conversation. Isaac and the family would like to express their sincere appreciation to all of Jims friends who have given support to him in so many loving ways.
