Jim, my bff, my love my life. When I first met you it was June of 1976. 34 years ago. Long time. 21 years of it I spent with you. It was the best 21 years of my life. We raised 2 beautiful children together. Which we are both very proud of. For someone who had no experience in raising children, I could'nt have asked for a better father. Considering the fact that the boys were'nt even yours, I thank you so very much for loving me enough and my boys to share a lifetime together, however short it was. We were there for each other thick or thin. My heart aches for you every day, and my love grows even more now that you've gone. Gone. I still cannot believe that this has happened to you, to us. We were just getting started in life. It was our time now. But sadley enough I am trying to cope with your absence and go on with life, how ever difficult it may be. And difficult does'nt even scratch the surface of how I'm feeling. I promised you that when Caleb turned 10 I would take him to Disneyland. And by damn I will too. I will make sure that he never forgets his "Pappa" I truly do Love you forever baby. I thank you for opening my heart to new things, and for being there for me when I needed you most.
You are my life, my love.
Till the 12th of never my love.
your soul mate your wife

Uncle Jim was such an amazing person. He had such a magnetic personality and a special gift of making people feel at ease. People genuinely enjoyed being in his company. What a great example he was for how we should treat others. He will be terribly missed
