Theodore Roosevelt once said "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, but who actually strives to do the deeds, who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." My brother Jim will not rest with those timid and uncertain souls. He lived his life as he chose and strove valiantly to do his best. Jim added great value to our lives and he will be deeply missed.
