July 28, 2021 at 1:32 pmMy condolences to Mary and all the family for your loss. Jim was such a wonderful man I had the pleasure of knowing through my good friend Mary. Jim was also such a great dog lover and even doggie sat for me and my husband Joe and took such good care of her as if it was his own. I know Jim is with his savior now. Bless his soul. ❤️🙏🏼
