Dory,Mary ,Nancy,Jim and Nick, I am so sorry To hear about Jum´s passing. When I think of him ,I immediately think of family. Your family. Smiling ,laughing, lively talk and yet he had his strong ,quiet way about him. He was a good man through and through. As I sit here, I can see one of his beautiful wood working projects (cutting board) sitting in my kitchen. It made me smile when we got it, it makes smile even now. He will be remembered with great fondness. Our thoughts and love are with you all. Sam and Shari Taber
