My dear brother,Jim,brought so many happy moments in our lives and left us with a treasure of memories.He personifies these words: kindness, bravery and humility. He was my hero! These are the kind of things he will be remembered for,always a good-looking smile and bringing love and laughter into our lives. My brother loved cowboy shows as a kid.He loved Roy Rodgers and Dale Evans. Using their words from the show's theme song, "Happy Trails to you until we meet again". I find comfort in believing that he is playing golf in Heaven. Love Judy
