Our family lived next door to Jim and Mary (later Janet) and their dog Ralph. They greeted us with open arms when we moved next door. We visited over the every time we saw them. Tho oak tree still stands in front of their former home. Jim was kind, humorous and would do anything for you. We missed him when they moved.

I share Mary's comments and would add: Jim was always working out in his yard, trying to fill the bare spots with grass, and generally keeping the place well kept. I remember when they were getting ready to move to a condo and putting the property on the market. As it turned out, it sold before the listing even got out, we should all be so lucky. They were especially fine neighbors.

RIP Tom you have s wonderful family and You were a great neighbor and friend. I Was friends with your mother-in-law and Wife Mary. Life well lived. Love from all The Crocker family. Mae Crocker.

I admired Jim so much.He became a friend and even more a mentor in farm management. So often we don't take the time and effort to say thanks to a special person. I plead guilty in this case. You lived a great life,Jim. Thanks for your positive influence to so many people. John Cotton
