Always a bright spirit. A warm hug and smile on Holidays. I´m sad I was unable to visit him last year when I was in Minnesota.
When we were kids, I knew him as "little Jimmy" as my name was Jim also. We were about 11 years apart in age.
I remember John and Jimmy wrestling on the floor and watching WWF wrestling on television. He thought John was the greatest big brother.
I knew he looked forward to his dad´s visit and visits from his brother and family.
I know James, you´re in heaven with your mom and dad. Can you say hi to your uncle Dick, my dad.
Thanks for being my little cousin.......
