James Abram Nikkel

Uncle Jim was always interested in what I was doing. When I was a child he would patiently sit and look at all my latest drawings when he visited, telling me they were good. Later, when I started painting as a young adult, Uncle Jim further encouraged me by buying one of my early creations and hanging it up in his living room. He encouraged me in many other areas of my life too. Thank you Uncle Jim, I will miss you.

Jim, my big brother, was always my hero. As you, I will miss him very much.
