Uncle Jimmy, My fathers oldest brother. There were many conversations I was able to have with you. One of the most memorable was when I was just 19 years old and we ran into each other in a car repair place, as we sat for a few hours waiting for our cars, I was able to confide in you on personal and private matters. You listened carefully and validated my experiences. You were on my side fully and gave me such self-worth at a tender time of my life. Much later in my life, as I began to research of family tree, I had much joy getting to talk to you for hours as you gave details of our family back generations. You Never pretended that all was well, you gave exciting and truthful stories of our family. I loved talking to you to record these histories of my great grandparents. Thank you for being so open and forthright with our discussions and talks. Thank you for the easy laughter that I always got from you.
