Jim and Paulette were two peas in a pod. There love was special for each other. Many times I heard Paulette tell Jim in an ending phone conversation "I Love You" which I'm sure Jim reciprocated on also. It was a phrase I heard hundreds of times.

no words seem to be able to describe the feeling of loosing a true friend, one who constantly showed loyalty, honesty and integrity, and then would top it off with humor second to no one. to say Jim will be missed is an understatement. your 2nd family at work can only be thankful that we had the honor of having you share your life with us, and teach us the right way.
