My uncle Jim was one of the funniest and fun loving people your likely to meet. We didn't live in the same state so I didn't get to see him as often as I would have liked to. I saw him in September of 2019 after not seeing him in many years and he hadn't changed a bit, he even remembered the time he lost his billfold when were canoeing up at the lake when when I was all of 13 years old. We kept circling the island where it may have fallen out of his pocket and low and behold, there it was floating on the water so everything turned out okay but we always had a good laugh about that. You couldn't have know a kinder or nicer man. Rest in Peace, Uncle Jim.
Your loving nephew,
Dale
