I will miss you terribly Papa Jim. Everywhere I turn in our home there are reminders of your handiwork and love for us. Thanks for everything... Mostly I thank you for the wonderful son that you raised and that I was privileged to marry.

When I saw six, I remember you made me my first bike with the spare parts you had at home. You brought it over to surprise me and watched as I rode it for the first time. That was the coolest bike I ever had because no one else had a bike like mine. You could build and make anything! Thank you Uncle Jim. You'll be missed. Love you nephew and godson.
