I send my condolences to Fay and the family and their friends. I have a little wooden jewelry box he made that i purchased from him for my mother years ago. My mother has since passed away, so i now have the box. One of the best memories i have of Jim is the day i saw him after my father had passed, Jim immediately came up to me and gave me a big hug. -Jim Lytle
