You can't say Jim without it being followed by Pat. They were a team that wasn't afraid to take on any task. Would I want to pay them by the hour? No way! But I would pay them based on the quality in which they did everything. As for Jim, he loved a good argument but we always walked away as friends and could laugh about it later. He always conducted himself as an old school gentlemen, was generous, kind and a great neighbor. When I think of Jim I will remember him sitting on the deck of his "Paint River" cabin having a cold beer and enjoying his company.
