We are so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a great guy and it was a privilege getting to know him over the past few years. Summer evenings won’t be the same without a visit from Jim and his dog Baxter, as they rode through the neighborhood in their golf cart. There was always a pleasant conversation to be had, and lots of laughs at Baxter’s antics. Our deepest condolences to Doris and family. Jim will truly be missed.

Jim was an exceptional guy. He was one of my favorite customers when I worked at the Littlestown Exxon many years ago. Loved taking to him whenever I ran into him, usually at Sheetz or Firehouse Grill. Could always have talked for hours, but usually limited it to one. He will surely be missed. Rest in Peace Jim.

I was honored to get to know Jim and Doris over the last couple years. The picture chosen was what I saw every time I saw Jim. He always had a smile on his face. He was a great man. He adored his wife and was extremely proud of his children and grandchildren. He shared many stories with me that I will cherish. You will be greatly missed by many…. See you in Heaven because I know you are there.
