On January 24, 2023, 11:34 PM Jim set off on his next big adventure and the world lost another good human being. A sweet selfless man who came into our families lives in 2005  via my braveness of exploring online dating, namely, eHarmony. He was on the East Coast almost , Hawkinsville, Georgia and me being on the West Coast ,Silverton Oregon. We had both lost our spouses and that is maybe what brought us together because we were both hurting from the loss of our loved ones. Jim was an exceptionally smart man. He read schematic manuals just for interest. He would tear perfectly good electronics and appliances apart just to see how they ran and for his
interest, there wasn't anything electronic or mechanical that Jim couldn't figure out. Just to see how they ran for his own interest. Jim and his father had a radio station in Hawkinsville Georgia that Jim automated before people actually knew what it was all about …Jim tackled everything head-on there wasn't anything he couldn't reason out with his brain with fierce determination and grit. He had a brain that his wife Sandi had no idea about if he was an asked
about figuring something out , anything out he was fully in on it to say he had tunnel vision was a misnomer …!!  where Sandi can only envision how he drove people crazy before he came to Oregon that final time in 2005 .Jim wanted to get married immediately when we met and Sandi said why we're older and we have families of our own, but finally in January 2022 on his birthday, on the way home from a family vacation in Yellowstone. We stopped in Jerome Idaho and I am so grateful we did …we got married there and came on home and it was before we knew that he was sick. We are also very grateful for our time with our Jimbo, he leaves his wife, Sandi, his bonus, daughter, Sonia, a bonus son, Michael …grand children BRIANA & Matthew Landau and Katelyn and grandsons Jordyn and Lethin ..4
great grand children all here in Oregon and Washington, his sister Connie and her five children in Georgia. His adopted daughter, Janna, and her two children in Georgia. Everyone is devastated by the loss of this beautiful human being.
