We are saddened to learn of the passing of Jimmy. What a GREAT friend, neighbor and just overall person. We will cherish the many good times we had with Jimmy, the get togethers at each others houses and the many great conversations we had together. We are broken hearted but heaven now has an angel as do you Pam have an angel looking over your shoulder. Words cannot express how we feel but we will never forget Jim. May eternal rest be granted to him and may his soul rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Jim's death. I will always remember how he teased me when I stayed at Uncle Jack and Aunt Laurene's. Such good memories and wishing we would have stayed more in touch. I do remember spending time at your home in Michigan and Tina and Nicole hitting it off and playing together. His laughter was so contagious. Then there were the times he came hunting with the guys at our woods and the stories they would tell. They had such a good time. Blessings to you Pam, Nicole and your family!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Jimmy, We will forever miss you my amigo. You could light up my day with just a few comments on anything from the days weather to the price of beer. What a great sense of humor he had. We have both laughed and cried together..and I shall never forget him. May God Bless and receive Jimmy Laba
