My condolences to Jeff and Keri. What a wonderful testimony that your Dad is in Heaven! You have been in my prayers.

He was the first principal to "call me to the office," at Jackson Twp. School in rural Allen County. May his memory be eternal to God.

Dear Ruth and family,
Our prayers are with you.  May you feel comforted by your cherished memories of Jim.

Sending thoughts and prayers to the family and friends.I was a student of Mr. York's and he was one of the BEST! Always had a smile and very soft spoken...always looked forward to class when he was my teacher. Rest In Forever Peace...

Dear Ruth and family:  
We offer our sincere condolences in your loss of Jim. "God is too wise to ever make a mistake, and too loving to ever be unkind."

Jim was the organist at my husband's and mine wedding.   His smile and always kind words always brightened my day.  Heaven truly shines a little brighter now.

I remember Mr. York from New Haven Middle School.  I had him as a teacher.  Always such a nice teacher.  Made science fun!!

We are grateful for the years of volunteering at the Bradenton Missionary Village in Florida with Jim.  We especially appreciated his talents on the piano at the events here in the village! May God bless and comfort you, Ruth, as only He can.
