Debbie, Roberta, Tom,
I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing.. He was a great man with great character and sincerity. I will think back to all the good times we've had. One in particular stands out.. One night Kris, Steve, Jim and I were at Nijo Castle for Karaoke.. And Jim and Kris went up and sang Honky Tonk Woman! They rocked it!! He was a friend, and I will truly miss him. I feel blessed to have known him... God bless you guys and sending big hugs.. Love Dale Wetterstrom
