A group of us always had a wonderful time at Mel’s for breakfast. Didn’t know Jim very well but he was a great guy when we all together for breakfast. To his family, I am very sorry for your loss! Joyce

Thank you so much for the smiles and laughs, the Thirsty Thursdays that will live in infamy, the kindness, the trivia, being my learn-to-scuba-dive buddy in the keys, and the sheer joy you brought to the world and to everyone you knew. You will be missed, my friend. Love you.
