Still think of you Jim (and Steve, of course) and all the fun poker games on weekends, all the laughs. I miss you guys, as well as others of our group who have passed since then.

I lost contact with Jimmy when I move to Richmond but I will not forget the memories. I knew he always had my back whether it was at the Horse or down the beach.
