Sue, Jim was just a lovely man, so very easy to like. He was considerate, respectful, "quiet" sense of humor, enjoyed being around anything and everything, it seemed. He told me about meeting and marrying you, and how lucky he was to have you. We were all lucky to have known him. I had made plans a while back and was out of town this past weekend; otherwise, I would have been there.
