Dear Jim,
I remember how happy you were when you and Louise were able to start retirement together ~ she really lit up your life and was a great "buddy" and support for many adventures as well as being a great source of joy for you and your family. You always joked at faculty meetings about buying lottery tickets, but I always knew that you had already won the most important prize of all when you married Louise. I am so sad that you have lost her. Fondly, Betty and Tom Pitt
