Joyce Palmateer wrote a sympathy message

“I had the honor of knowing Jim over the past several years. I was lucky enough to spend time with him in his garden, picking flowers for the church altar. Jim did so much—quietly, faithfully, & without ever seeking recognition. He brightened the Church with his flowers and our lives with his presence. It was truly an honor to know him & I will miss him greatly. May his memory be eternal. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.”
