As Jim’s granddaughter, I am very saddened that I am just finding out a week later that he has passed and I missed the funeral!! It’s true I haven’t seen him in some years, but I still think of him often and would have liked to say goodbye. He may have been a stubborn hard headed man at times but he was also caring and generous. You will be missed. Thank you for everything. Say hello to mama for me.. love ya grandpa.

Jim dad was in my life for over 30 years. I was his stepdaughter for 20 of those years, we shared many good and bad memories together.  He was the love of my mom's life!!!!!  I want you to know he took care of all of his families until a few years ago when he started getting down in his back and other events started taking place that made it was harder for him to do.
He may not have been married to my mom at time of his passing I know he always loved her. He always took care of her and Verna his first wife.  He built an amazing business ABC Savage, which he did sell to his son in law, they had worked together for years and were very close. I remember them talking about playing poker together every week, He also took care of all of his family before Betty came into the picture.  Slowly she took him always from us all.  Phone calls weren't answered and when she did answer it was always, he is sleeping.  When his mind started slowing down that's when the real lies started being told to him, that when the brain washing started heavy in the past years, we had no contact with him.  She would not allow us to come visit, because she was so afraid of not getting every cent he had.  She is a gold digger too!
I KNOW that is NOT what he wanted!!!!!  Betty is not the person she pretends to be she is a selfish evil woman! Yes, I am sad because I didn't get that last hug or to say Jim dad I love you for the last time on earth.  But I do know I will see you again in heaven and we will laugh again together in the presence of our Savior.   Love you Jim dad,  Lisa

Jim was my stepfather but my sister and myself looked at him as our father. He'll be greatly mi
ssed Jim was a great person and did so many for the ones he loved.  It has been brought to my attention that his wife Betty has totally shut his loved ones out of his life these last few months which really saddened me. Big Jim we love you and will miss you 😔

Betty and family. Your church family are lifting you up in our daily prayers for comfort and peace in your time of grief.
Thankful I was privileged to meet him a few weeks ago when the children’s choir sang at Heartland. Love Melanie Howard
