A true man of God, Jim lived his life to serve others. In addition to his pastoral work, he was involved in helping the community in many ways.

Harold Cole, deceased), Ruby McCluskey; Doris Carr (Murray Carr, deceased), Marsha Nickerson-Ellis, and Linda Shalm (Warren); brothers-in-law, John Nickerson (Corinne) and Donnie Nickerson (Rose), as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends.
In addition to his parents, Jim was predeceased by his daughter, Carol Joy Howell; grandson, Matthew Lewis; brother, Rev. Gordon Lewis; sister, Beatrice Lewis; mother and father-in-law, Harry and Allena Nickerson; and sisters-in-law Ruth Nickerson and Lois Pearl Nickerson-Mintsis.
