The loss is infinite and as 'adopted' family members we cling to all the wonderful memories we shared as co-joined families. So many meals shared, water centered activities, laughter, boat cruises, etc. not to mention all the shenanigans Jim and dad hatched together. The example of character and integrity shaped each of us to strive to do our best. Jim always had a smile and laugh to share with everyone. He's definitely left each of us with wonderful memories we can hold dear to our hearts forever. While he has moved on, he is definitely not forgotten.
