Jim’s lifelong love of Alaska led to many trips there for the Iditarod, mission work, vacations with his wife, and graduation trips with his granddaughters.
Jim had a passion for missions, including Ray of Hope Ministries, Rolling Hills Ministry, Louisiana Disaster Relief, and church building in other countries.
Honorary pallbearers will be Aaron Scott, Ted Grace, Jamil Elayan, Garnett Elayan, Tony Murphy, Toby Murphy, and men of Irving Sills Class.
