Jimmy (later he would insist on Jim) was a wonderful friend for his cousin (me). We shared a laundry basket as toddlers (wish I could find that photo) and a love of comics (which translated into a love of art) from our childhood days. I didn't see him as frequently in adulthood, but Jim's personality was always happy and humorous. He was always glad to see his oldest friend--and that is a great gift for anyone to give someone else in this life.
