Jim was from my father's side of the family. I had a very good picture of the family tree on my mother's side but not so clear on my dad's. Dick and Retta invited both Jim and I for lunch so that Jim could share with me some facts and memories from the Pitrak lineage. It was a wonderful time and I will always be grateful for his time and consideration.
My sincere condolences to the family.
