The Wilson family was very sorry of the news about James Paul passing. Marty and myself will be at the grave service tomorrow. We have fond memories of the family gathering at my Mom and Dad house Aunt Helen and Uncle Peterbo house. James Paul is at peace now. Love to you Bobby Jo..
Had wonderful long lasting memories of Jim and his family throughout many years. Ranging from police work to hunting and fishing. Will always regard him as a friend and coworker. My entire family will miss him.
