He is survived by his wife, Terry Porter Hartley, brother, Donald Hartley, and children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

Jim, we know that you are now walking on the shores of heaven. Family and friends greeting you with a thousand hugs and a million tears of Joy!

We will forever cherish our memories of you. We love you, Jim!
