When you look up the definition of "gentleman" in the dictionary you will find Uncle Jim...a strong, kind and generous man! Words cannot express our sorrow. He will always hold a special place in our hearts. He will be greatly missed and we will cherish all the memories we had with him. We know Lori and Uncle Jim are watching over everyone while they play a round of golf!
Our heartfelt condolences to Aunt Jean, Liz, Cheri(Reed) and the grandchildren.

All our love,
Mike, Mary-Anne & Michelle, xoxo
