My dear Uncle Jim - thank you for the many fond memories growing up. The tour of the Empire State Building & Statue of Liberty with my cousins, all the times you took me in when I was traveling through NY, our honeymoon in St. Maartens, celebrating your birthday at POW. You always made me feel special & loved. I miss you sweet Uncle. Love to Sheila & all of my Marshall family.

Very sad news about Jim. I feel as if I've known him all my adult life, from picking up JJ for school with Dan, to many hours on the tennis courts at POW.
He will be missed. Bob Sherman
