Event details

No memorial events are planned

Regarding arrangements, Jim was very clear in his desire to not have a formal viewing or a funeral to celebrate his life. His wishes were to have a small and meaningful party with his children and grandchildren. We look forward to celebrating his great life and legacy this way. In lieu of flowers or donations, we ask that you use the money you would donate towards making a special memory with your family and loved ones. Nothing would make him feel more celebrated than knowing he was part of special memories being made with the people you love.
