CA, Lidia, Geneva and family, We’re so glad we were able to meet Jim at the baseball game last year. What a great time we all had! Although we only met him that one time, we loved hearing at his service about what a great man he was and how he touched so many people with his positive energy and humor. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. ~ Everyone at Hughes Financial Services
