Our hearts go out to the Lando family.
Jim was a big man with a bigger heart.
His love of boats and the sea was only
exceeded by his love of his family and
friends.

Dear Roberta, Doug, Ben and DeeDee,

Please know that you are in my prayers. May God’s gentle hand of comfort guide and direct each of you during this difficult time. I’m remembering the years at Key Capri and the fun times at South Seas Plantation. Can you say “Bimini?” Jim was such a great guy and always seemed to have an answer for everything. I always felt I could trust his judgment. I know your hearts are broken … mine, too. But I take comfort in the fact that Jim and Chuck are having a “chat” and in the distance, Magnum has turned to Bear and said, “Daddy’s Home!”

I love you,

Janet Magin
