Jim was our good friend and as my son said he was like and Uncle to him, he was there when my son graduated high school, at his college graduation, all our family important events and for the last 4 years we spent Christmas together he was more than a friend he was family, he was an easy going guy who made it enjoyable to be around and always was willing to do what you wanted and when my husband had cancer he made it a point to come and spend time with him, not to many people are like that, we will miss him so very much, and he was such a special person, we love you !
