I remember walking into your house at Christmas time. Lynn along with yourself greeted all of us. I remember Hawaiian.
shirts. I remember Mike saying.Have you ever had his famous Mojito? I said no, Then Jim said you must try.I will make you one now. It was his first time meeting me. I tried it, And I said, oh my gosh, this is gross. I remember Mike coming up to me and saying " you just told him it was gross"? .I cannot believe you. That's when Jim said, I like you because you are honest. He said Brett how did you get her. Jim was a hard working devoted father. He would move mountains for Lynn. They were a beautiful couple. They always loved to entertain and help others.
Fly high, and enjoy your eternal peace.

"Jim" - I still see your smiling face under that blond head of hair ready to take the mound - it's your day to pitch and you're ready. You did well, you were more than dependable and a wonderful teammate for all.
Coaching you was easy - you were always ready and gave your all each time out. I missed you when you graduated but now - I certainly miss you more.
I'm glad we had a chance to catch up a few years back, hearing about your family and professional life. You did well Jim, can't say I was surprised, happy for you.
I do not need to wish you - "Rest in Peace" - I KNOW YOU WILL.
God bless you. Good-by Jim.

Jim was truly a great friend and mentor to me. I will always carry his words and memory with me for the rest of my life.
Jim loved to golf and I liked to golf. When we went together, after we would both hit, a lot of times we would head straight for his ball and he would say " never mind your ball, just drop one by mine!" that was because mine was probably near the next fairway!
Again, I liked to golf, but I loved to golf with Him!
He will always have a place in my heart.
