Jim,
Loved me, even though he didn’t know me very well. He was always an incredibly kind soul to me. He taught our teenage high school men’s group when I was a freshman at Wagoner high school. I never understood why he loved me so much but he was always so gentle and kind and thankful to see me every time I came back home.
Jim was my Dad's best friend as well as a coworker for many years. I grew up seeing Jim and his wife, Jean, coming by for visits and showing off a new car, a VCR, or something else new and cool. They also had a uniquely named cat we liked to play with. All in all, Jim was a great guy, and I'm glad to have gotten to see him again recently when we were visiting Oklahoma. Rest in peace, Jim.
So sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. It was such a blessing to have known him. He always had a smile when I would see him at church.
