I didn’t know Jim very well, but did meet him a few times and knew right away what a kind and generous spirit he had surrounding him. I also was familiar with his ancestry, being from the Wabasso area, myself being a long time resident of Indian River County and coming from similar roots as he with descendants who were pioneers of the area as well. My heart goes out to Patsy and Christy and the entire family as they mourn the loss of a wonderful man. He will be missed by many and there will be a noticeable void in many lives now that he is no longer here. May your hearts mend over time. Gone but not forgotten. Godspeed Jim……….
