To Jim's family: I only knew Jim from the past couple of years when I would see him with Kona at the dog park; he was quite a guy, as you know. We talked about many, many things and I was always struck by how kind Jim was and that he was always willing to look at the other side of the coin in a discussion. He loved Kona so much, and she loved him right back. I have been missing him and will continue to do so. Best wishes to your family.
