We are so sorry for your loss! Jim was such a sweet soul! We will miss seeing his smiling face at church. May God continue to give you peace, comfort and strength. You are in our prayers.
So sad to hear of this. Jim is breathing very well now and I sure have missed playing golf with him and the other fellows at church. We have many good memories of Jim over the 29 years I have know him. Will be praying for Ileen.
Mr. Jim will always have a special place in our hearts. He was a kind and friendly man. I know that he and my dad are praising the Lord together. Prayers for the family and a hug for Ileen!
Dear Ilene, we are so very sorry to learn about Doyle. Although we were Friends, we did not see each other often. I guess we saw him more at the VA Hospital than any place else. The last time I saw him was at the VA.
Ilene, if you should need anything please let us know.

To the family of Jim: I worked with him at Apple Tree Chevrolet and found him to always be knowledgeable, caring, and doing a great job. Romans 8:39 “Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the Love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” II Timothy 4:6-8 “…the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day..”
May God fill you with His Grace, Mercy, Peace, and Heal your hearts with His love during this difficult time. God bless.
Jim and I became great friends at Good News Baptist Church and had Chevrolet trucks almost alike just different colors and we talked trucks every change we got. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family
