Andi, I am thinking of you and your mom and family. I am so sorry to hear about your father's passing. What a great man.

I meant to say seeing Jim at the Health Club Vic Tanny in the 80's not the 90's. Jim would Aldo watch June and I play tennis. He was always supportive of our great doubles team. The way I introduced Jim to my husband was on the tennis court playing doubles with Jim and June. Jim was always so good to me. Just wanted to add to what I wrote and correct my error. God Bless all of you and remember Jim loved all of you very much.
