Uncle jim was one of a kind. He was always willing to help out anyone in any way that he could.he loved his family and had a strong faith in GOD. He loved to laugh and make people laugh. He is a good man and will be truly missed, and he will always remain in our hearts. He now is in heaven with his parents and I can see him with dad (ray arp ) playing cards just like the good ole days. We love you dearly uncle jim and it will.not.be.a goodbye its til we see you again at heaven's gate. I know you will be there welcoming us with.open arms... we love you Billy and donna moyers Jessica, jasmine, b.j.

Jim had a ready smile for everyone he came in contact with. Through the years, he has touched so many lives, family and friends alike, with his kindness, caring, loving and peaceful nature. During my boyhood years he was inspirational in teaching me how to fish (and with a cane pole), shoot (still can't hit the broad side of a barn though - must had missed that lesson), among many other life altering lessons. I may have lost a great uncle, but I am certain he is now in the hands of our great redeemer, our Lord and Savior. Since I can't be with you today I would like to leave you with a poem that is so fitting... God saw you getting tired And a cure was not meant to be. So he put his arms around you And whispered 'Come to Me'. With tearful eyes we watched you As we saw you pass away. Although we loved you deeply, Your Golden Heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us. He only takes the best. Those we love remain with us For love itself lives on, And cherished memories never fade Even though a loved one is gone, Those we love can never be More than a thought apart, For as long as there is memory, They'll live on in the heart.

Angela, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you and your family during this very difficult time.
