Mr H was not only one of the funniest person I e ever known, he was kind and very generous person. Other than his son Tim, he made me laugh harder than anyone.
I could go on and on.
Mr H you are and will be forever missed. You’ve touched the lives of so many.
With much love – Lita
Jim may you rest in peace. You will truly be missed. Thanks for your love and friendship that you gave too me. I will always cherish our special moments together.
Sweet Papa Jim! You will be greatly missed. You were the sweetest kindest man and like a 2nd father to me. I have known you since I was 2 and well, I am definitely quite a bit older than that now. There wasn’t a visit that didn’t go by without a trip to the shop. Once my boys came along, they had to go see what Papa Jim had they could spend money on. Which he never took anything from them. My boys have a very extensive knife collection. My funniest memory was one year going to see Christmas light downtown and well it made you “Whistle” from its magnificence…if ykyk!!! I hope the magnificence of Heaven has you truly Whistling!!! Love you, Tiffiny
Our sympathy and condolences to the family and especially to Pat Hess. We pray the Holy Spirit will surround you with peace and comfort as you grieve Jim’s home going.
I’m so blessed to have known and been given the privilege to call Jim “friend” for over 40 yrs. The Hess family holds a special place in my heart. Jim’s physical presence will be greatly missed, but he will never be forgotten by those who’ve known him.
