    So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are going your way. Jim was a fun Uncle when he and Norma visited Oregon county. They showed us a wonderful time when we visited California.

    I am so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He could always make me chuckle when I stopped to visit the vegetable stand years ago. He will be missed by many.

    I am grateful for the life of Mr. Adams. Thanks to his service and to the service of others in our armed forces, my family and I have been able to lead our lives in freedom and peace.

    We all like to remember our parents as our best friends. Look what Jim did. He created a legacy that included his girls and grandkids along with all of his many accomplishments. It’s hard to watch someone lose all of those wonderful years to the aging process. Jim is certainly happier now and deserves to finally be able to rest. Remember him with all of your best thoughts and let the last few years go. Thinking of all of you Virginia Smith

    So sorry to hear of Uncle Jim’s death. I remember his great sense of humor and good times we had at Grandma’s house.
    I know you have many memories and stories that will make you smile and laugh for years to come.
