Jim
A man I could talk to for hours about anything. It was from Jim that I first heard about the book "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". He explained more about gardening and botany in general than I could imagine existed as well as tons of practical stuff that he had experienced. At the same time he was always interested in what I had to say too. All around = JIm- a good guy to be with.

I will forever miss my neighbor Jim A. Despite health problems he was always happy to engage one in his lively intellect. An avid gardener to be seen often tending his plants & ready to offer botanical information or a bulb or plant to take home. His knowledge on so many subjects was another gift he would share. With twinkle in his eyes and a quick smile, that is how I shall remember Jim. Peace Jim, you led a full, generous and productive life!
Till we meet again,
