Dear Bev, Remembering Jim with much love. All of us on Adelaide in the early 70's. Wonderful memories, we had so much fun together, Jim was the heartbeat, bigger than life. Much love my dear to you and your girls. Rick and Marge Decher
Jim was my Uncle. I remember him as a very kind and happy man. He was a great husband to his wife Bev and a wonderful father to his two daughters Jodi and Tracey. I had a lot of fun with him when I was younger. Whether we were playing mini golf or watching action movies together, he was always a joy to be with. I also remember how much he loved his pets. He always had a big smile on his face which tells me he had a great life. My thoughts are with his wife and kids and his extended family and friends. Jim will be missed and remembered with fond memories by all those who had the privilege of knowing him. -Steve Timotijevic
