Jim was married just under 70 years to the love of his life, his precious wife, Velma, before death separated them.

We are comforted knowing he is with God and wrapped in His love.

On behalf of Jim and Velma's buddies and neighbors on Echo Lane, Godspeed, dear Jim. We wish you well on your next project. We will miss you as we have Velma, and we will always pass by "Jim and Velma's house" and think of her putzing in the garden, you driving your shiny red truck, and the two of you just hanging out, together, as always.
To Jim and Velma's family, we loved those two lovebirds. What an inspiration as a couple, neighbors, and people in general. Sincerely, Debbie and Dave Perl and the Echo Lane friends.
