Jim was my brother, Jim's best friend from high school and through life. They were always able to pick up from wherever they left off. I hope you celebrate his life with great joy because he was a wonderful man of many talents. Undoubtedly, you will all miss him greatly. May he rest in peace.
With special thoughts of all his family,
