Dear David and Jane, On behalf of our entire family, allow me to say what a kind hearted, decent man Jim was. We all loved him and enjoyed his company. He was always especially thoughtful to my mother Linda (Cullen) my brother, John. Jim had a heart bigger than the whole world. We wish you all the best. And David, you should know that your Dad always beamed with pride when he talked about you and how proud he was to be your father. He simply adored you. Sincerely, Jill Cullen Leibold
