I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Big Jim was a good friend of mine. You hit it on the head that he was a Cubs and Bears fan and also a terrible putter. I'm sorry that I can't attend the services. He will be missed.

Uncle Jimmy: We will never forget you, your smile, your laugh, or your voice. Go fly with the angels and may your spirit be free!
