Thank you so much Gordon and Nancy. We appreciate your kind thoughts.
Nancy, yesterday morning I found home movies transfered to VHS that included some of those 1950s picnics. I spotted Crawford in there and there were two girls water skiing. Perhaps one of those was you?

Have known Jim (and Jack) since 6th grade and send kind thoughts to his family. While I share their sorrow, I was in contact with Jim recently and know his life had become a terrible burden from his illness. We are left with many fond memories. I am grateful for the years and times we've had with Jim. Gordon Caldwell

To the Smith Family, So sorry to have read the obituary about the death of Jim. I have great memories of the twins when I was a little girl, we had many great times with all of our families getting together for picnics at Gun Lake. And my father Crawford Smith always would call them Jimmy-Jack because he never could tell them apart.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
Nancy Smith Thornton. RIP Jim.
