Uncle Jim was a wonderful man. He always gave me great advice over the years. I remember when I was just out of high school and I wanted to buy a little inexpensive sport car and my Dad (Don) was sternly against it. When I talked with Uncle Jim about it he said that it might be the only time I would be able to have that kind of car, so if I really wanted it I should go for it. It turned out to be great advice and within a couple of years it was never again practical for me to own that kind of car.

Uncle Jim's presence has enriched my life. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
