Our hearts are filled with such sadness at Jim's passing. We will cherish all our wonderful memories and are very thankful that we shared a dinner, beach day & beautiful sunset with Jim & Kathy a few months ago. But we never would have thought that would be our last time all together. We will deeply miss our good friend, union brother, beach buddy and "activities director". Jim's smile & laugh will remain in our hearts forever and he will be thought of everytime we are at "our" beach.
Our deepest sympathy and prayers to Kathy and kids.
Rest in Peace, Jim.....until we meet again.
Love,
Jim & Char Cleary
