Grayslake, IL Saturday, October 22, 2022 To Jim’s Family, please accept our deepest sympathies. I knew Jim and his family back in Red Bud, Illinois. He worked for my family’s Purina feed store back in his high school days. I am the same age as his sister, Loretta, who is deceased. He has brothers Jerry and Tom and sister Rose back in Illinois. Jim and I were friends and had some fun times way back then. Jim joined the Air Force and got married. I remember Jim and his wife lived in Red Bud for a short while after he got out of the service. They returned to Lubbock. I have thought and wondered about him at times over the years. It seems like he lived a good life. He was a hard worker, had a large family and was a giving person.Rest In Peace, Jim.
I am glad that I knew you, Charles
