Our prayers are with all of Jim's family. We came to know him when he had his truck leased to Horton Supply. Leon Meeks, the driver of his truck, and I have become inseparable companions. We would probably have never met under any other circumstances, so we are both thankful for our acquaintance with Jim. With heartfelt sympathy for your loss, Mary Lee Counts and Leon Meeks
