    I’m really going to miss one of my best friends for over 45 years. We traveled, we laughed and we enjoyed life. He was always there for me. RIP buddy.

    Jim was the coolest guy. He was always there to help me out with whatever was needed at my place on Lake. We had so many fun drives to the Transfer Station together. I love and miss him. Sincerely, Tom

    Jim was the best Boss ever who taught me alot about work and life. Knowing him for over 20 years has been a very beneficial experience. He once travelled to Australia and shared some Kangaroo Jerky with me. I will never forget his love for dogs (Kelly, Mia and Sky) and his love for the Station. I never thought the last time I saw him would be the last. I miss you tremendously and I’ll never forget you Jim. Thankyou for being more than a Boss and more like Family. Love you Big Guy-Shak
