So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Such a fun loving man! May he rest in peace. As the youngest Cup family daughter, I have fond memories of sitting on Jim's lap when I was just a girl, while around the camp fire at Timber Trail. My condolences to the Braatz family.

Anytime I called Debbie I ended up having a 20 to 30-minute conversation with Jim! By the time we were finished laughing and talking I had completely forgotten the reason I called!. Any of the parties Debbie had Jim was there helping, allowing Debbie to be the life of the Party! He was a good man Rest in Peace Jim!

Jim was a very good friend I. High school. He befriended me when I most needed a friend. Though we lost being touch over the years he never left my heart.
