I will always remember the special and fun times we shared when Jim and my sister, Rose, first met. He was a born leader, great achiever and had many talents . May he rest in peace and may Rose and Bobby be comforted during this difficult time.

Uncle Jim, you taught me to get up to bat. I will always remember the time I spend with you, your son, and my father. You were one of the greatest men I ever knew, and I getting to know you was a priviledge.

Here's to my unofficial brother, who is and will be sorely missed. We had many, many good times through the years that made for permanent life memories imprinted on us. He was dear friend and confidant from 1962 when we met, until now. Joyce and I both, as well as our entire family, extend our enduring sympathies to Rose, Bob, Patrick, and the Haney family.

I remember when Jim came by the County DIC office. No matter how busy he was, he made it a point to stop in and say hello to everyone ... always with a smile on his face.
