Not sure what to say?

I remember walking into your house at Christmas time. Lynn along with yourself greeted all of us. I remember Hawaiian. shirts. I remember Mike saying.Have you ever had his famous Mojito? I said no, Then Jim said you must try.I will make you one now. It was his first time meeting me. I tried it, And I said, oh my gosh, this is gross.

"Jim" - I still see your smiling face under that blond head of hair ready to take the mound - it's your day to pitch and you're ready. You did well, you were more than dependable and a wonderful teammate for all. Coaching you was easy - you were always ready and gave your all each time out. I missed you when you graduated but now - I certainly miss you more. I'm glad we had a chance to catch up a few years back, hearing about your family and professional life.

Jim was truly a great friend and mentor to me. I will always carry his words and memory with me for the rest of my life. Jim loved to golf and I liked to golf.

Again, I liked to golf, but I loved to golf with Him! He will always have a place in my heart. Brett Moore

Rest in peace Jimmy.
