The photo was James and I walking past the Ferry Building in San Francisco, the Bay Bridge was behind us. We just had lunch at the Yank Sing (he paid... hah). i think James was pointing at the sky because it was a rare, warm sunny day in SF. James told me great stories of his work in Malaysia, Edmonton and Phoenix. Not sure if he tode his big dogg (souped up Harley) on the 8 commuting to San Diego. He always had great stories about his kids, exes, dad and aunties... I miss James a lot... Sonny

Jim and I were childhood friends due to the friendship of our parents, Arnold and Olga Canales and my parents, Larkin and Mary Rice.

Jim was an old soul and I truly enjoyed his company. Later in life, he suffered from many physical challenges, but, is now free and dancing with the Angels.
