Jim was a dear friend who I will miss immensely. He was a dear friend of my father's and we shared many friends in common. My happy memories are endless and attest to a long wonderful relationship. You will be in my thoughts and prayers until we meet again. To Sharon and the boys, be assured that his deep love for you all will transcend the grave and he will speak to you from heaven.
