Uncle Jim was a great guy. Favorite son of Thelma Hoffman, favorite brother of Sarajane Anderson. My favorite uncle. Mom used to say there are three ways, right, wrong, and Jim's way. The pictures show his loving family. Jim talked me into having another child at my age. Cody is now 4, and Jim was right, thank you uncle Jim.
Our prayes to his family, God bless you,
Mark, Sarah, and Cody Sloan
