Uncle Jim was a very dear, kind and loving man. Every time I saw him, he had a big hug and a great smile, just for me - he always made me feel like I was the most important person in the world to him! My thoughts, prayers and love go out to the whole family, but especially to you, Aunt Jo, I know he was the greatest love of your life and you will miss him. Take comfort in knowing that he loved you all and that he is always and forever in your hearts. Take good care of each other and know that you are all loved.
