And then, “To my caring and talented wife Loes, you have made my life complete. I love you and I thank you”. As per Jim’s wishes, there will be no visitation or memorial service. Cremation has taken place. Memorial donations to Groves Memorial Community Hospital would be appreciated by the family. Arrangements entrusted to the Graham A. Giddy Funeral Home.
