Jim was a good friend and hero when I had computer problems. Our thoughts are with your family now and you are in our hearts. He was a great Dad. Always caring and worrying about Jenny - his baby girl. God has taken you home now and if he needs a good Cadillac man he now has one. Love you and will miss you.
