A heaven bound soul, if I ever knew one. A great person, kind to all. Jim was in our wedding, when we were all just kids. We had the pleasure of sitting with Jim and Tiffany at the HS reunion. I remember thinking how I wished we lived closer to them.
You played a nice golf game, Jim. I hope to join you in the clubhouse, right after I finish my round.
Can’t believe Jim is gone. Such a great guy. Always willing to help me with frames. Enjoyed out talkes about our families. Really, really going to miss him. Gone too soon!
Dave, Andy and I are so sorry for your loss. We are also sorry we could not make Jim’s service. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you need anything.

I have known Jim for 27 years and we were in the same business, porviding eyeglass frames to eyecare professionals all over the state of Virginia. Jim was one of the nicest guys I have ever known. He always had a smile on his face and was always positive and upbeat. I never heard a negative word from him. Jim was loved by all his customers and will be missed very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to Tiffany and the family. Cherish all the wonderful memories you have of Jim. I know I will.

My thoughts and love go out to Jimmy’s family, friends and all that loved him.
I will remember my conversations with Jim starting out about business, but always quickly turning to the topic of basketball. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jim’s family and friends. I am very sorry for your loss.
I would like to extend my sympathies to your family. I shared the VA territory with Jim and ALL of his former accounts thought the world of him and always asked how he was doing.

Many of the folks I have met in the optical industry you would call work associates, Jim however you could call friend. I have known him since 2000. Jim was one of the friendliest reps a person could work with. My condolences to your family, he will be missed by us all.
My “Heart” is Grateful to have had the pleasure to be raised in Michigan with Jim. The laughter, fun, joy we could share in a small school in the rural area we enJOYED kept us all in touch in a way that is rare, but helped us to touch each others lives even today. My hope is that your family can know we extend our history of care to you all right now. Remember the moments that make you “Heart Smile”.
That is Wonderful to carry with you always. Jim will be Remembered and we will think often of his resilience. Rest Peacefully Jim

Tiffany and children ~ Jim was so much more than just our sales rep ~ he was a dear friend ! I have known Jim since before he was with Kenmark and had many conversations with him in those years! Most of those talks included his family and the tremendous joy and love he had for all of you ~ I hope you are all able to be comforted with great memories as you try to deal with his loss ~ please know that he was respected and loved everywhere he went ~ We will miss him so much !
Tiffany and Shelby, please know that your both are in our prayers. If there is anything my family can do to help you out, don’t hesitate to let us know.
WE do know that God has claimed another angel and we all will see him again one day, healed, showing off his new body and probably playing a little golf.
Again, please know that you are in our prayers.
Tiffany, we knew this day would come and we were all dreading it. I am thankful for the time you all got together and pray good memories and faith keep you going. I know your loss. It is not easy at all. But I promise, moment by moment, day by day, life does get a little easier. Remember, it’s not your own strength that will carry you and your family now, but God’s grace. I love you all.

To the Hargreaves family, my sincerest condolences. I have many fond memories of all of you, as you were a part of my Freeland “family.” I remember lots of enjoyable hours spent babysitting for Jim and Bob when they were little, and can still picture Jim as always cheerful and full of smiles. I am so sorry for your loss.
We are so sorry for your family’s loss. Our love and thoughts are with you.
We have only been a part of the Hargreaves life for a short period.Being little Shelby softball coach and her growing with her and her family there is nothing we could ever do to make the smiles stop, not that we ever wanted too. What we would give to see those loving smiles today. You will all be forever in our hearts,mind and souls as we are here to support you in this tough time that weights yours shoulders.
