“When we moved to Wapello Iowa in 1982, we had contact with Jim because he was a real estate agent and we were looking for a house to buy. He took us under his wing and treated us like we were family. He was hospitable, kind and Jim and Shirley were our closest friends. It was heartbreaking to hear the news of his passing.
