Linda & Family,

We are thinking of you all at this sad time. Jim was a wonderful man that always had a story to tell...The weather conditions, the water conditions and the water temperatures...We were always prepared for the beach. Drakes Island won't be the same without seeing Jim going back and forth to the water. We were lucky enough to sit next to you at the beach when all the family gathered for one last time. That is the perfect memory of what Jim loved the most...Family and the Ocean.

Linda, you allowed Jim to continue his trips to Maine even though it became more difficult and that proved what a wonderful wife you were to Jim.

May your memories carry you through this difficult time and know that Jim touched anyone that knew him.
