Joyce and Family
Knowing Jim from the time I was a kid, and getting to work along side him at the airport, he was always a role model that I looked up to. Always kind, full of laughter and I can honestly say I have never heard him utter a bad word of anyone. He will be missed, but I know he’s rejoicing with the angels now. Deepest sympathy to family and friend until we see him again.
To Joyce, wife and Linda, sister

The Graves neighbors forever in my heart!
Love & prayers for the family, friends! Always waved to me when I was riding tractor to Granny’s or bike rides before going down the big hill/ coming up the hill sometimes stop & he’d go get me a drink! Love, Shavanah
