Dear family and friends
I don’t even know where to begin.
I first remember meeting big Jim as my best friend Phil Millington’s uncle .
It was a family fall cookout at the home of Dorothy and Ernie Millington.
This also would be when I would meet Jim’s
Daughter Paula.
At only 19 years of age I would fall in love with her and only a few short months later would ask her to marry me.
Let’s just say Jim wasn’t to impressed with this young man right out of high school wanting to marry one of his girls !
lol 😂

Well I was blessed to be Married to Paula November 22 1980 until God called her home January 15 2011

During that time I got to know Jim and we’ve shared things together I’ll forever be thankful for.

He truly loved his family.
From his parents ,
to his siblings , to his children to his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

To be a man who loves the water and fishing 🎣 like I do and to have gotten to spend those countless days on the boat and water with this man are things I’ll never forget those memories are priceless!

We’re all going to miss Jim, but I encourage you all to know this past Thursday night when his last breath was taken here on earth the sights he got to see will take your breath away.
There was a reunion in Heaven and one day when my name is called from here I’ll to join them all there.
Thanks Big Jim for loving me like you did.
I’m not saying goodbye cause I know I’ll see you later.

To family and friends.
Live - Laugh- Love
He sure did!

Love and hugs to you all
Jeffrey

I just want to say to my family that I am glad I am a part of this wonderful group. My dad was a good man and he cared about people. Thank you to the staff at Stofcheck Funeral home for making my Dad's funeral a real celebration of all that was good in his life. Thanks to all those who helped make this important day special.
