Though we didn't know Joan's father personally, we know of the legacy he has left with so many people. We are both crazy about Joan & Rio, and with him being such a major part of who they both are, that is one reason we regret not ever having met Jim. We'll keep this entire very fine family in our prayers.

Jim was a fine man and I enjoyed talking with him on numerous occasions about local golf. I'd see him at Pine Tree for the Legendary Seniors; various BGA tournaments and functions; the Brunos' and then the Regions as a starter. He gave much of himself and his time to many, many golf tournaments and the tournaments were always better for his presence.
