Just looking at Jim's very handsome face reminds me of my equally handsome Father (also Jim). He was incredibly kind! What a loss!
Rest In Peace Rocky.

I was shocked to learn that my second cousin Jim passed away. His mother & my father were first cousins. I met Jim on my visits to Vallejo years ago ... his handsome face and kind nature left quite a positive impression. Rest In Peace Jim.
