Remembering this gentle, patient man who made the world richer with his intelligence, wit, wonderful laugh and bright smile, "and I'm sticking to it." He was always ready to help others in big and small ways. He was a master at micro tuning skies, boots, roller blades or golf clubs. A perfectionist in his hobbies. And he was a tender man, calming busy days by reading books aloud at night in his soothing baritone voice. We who have missed him for a long time look ahead to meeting Jim the "bottom of the run."
That smile says it all...
