Jim was our new neighbour
Jim was our new neighbour who we only just met once a few days before this horrible accident. He had come by our farm to introduce himself. In that meeting we felt Jim was a very nice and sincere individual with a lot of heart. We only wish we has the opportunity to get to know him better. We are very sad. We will miss you Jim. Our condolences to your family.
