Jim

He was my neighbor for over forty years and his name was Jim.

When I think about what a good man should be like, I think of him.

He and my uncle were former co-workers and friends.

It was sad when I learned that his life came to an end.

 

Many people know that he was a credit to the Human Race.

Poor Jim's life has ended but now he's in a far better place.

When a man goes to Heaven, he celebrates his greatest reward.

Nothing can be better than being in Paradise with The Lord.

 

We became neighbors in 1977 and that was a long time ago.

I used to listen to some beautiful music when he played his banjo.

When I say that he was a good man, it certainly isn't a lie.

His family and friends are shedding tears as they say goodbye.
