Jim was the most kindness and most genuine person you will ever get to know. As a child growing up I was close in age with my neice Tina and my brotherlaw after a long day at work I am sure still would come and pick us up to come over and go swimming and hang out and play with Tina. Both he and my sister would take me with them on family trips. I cherish those times.
His laughter was contagious. He loved my sister so much watching them together as I grew up is priceless. What a wonderful spirit of a person he was. One that has a special place always in my heart he was wonderful big brother in law. Always making us movies so we can watch. Even for my only daughter Christina he and my sister always wanted her to have every copy of a Disney movie there was. Jim you will always be missed but never forgotten. You were a one of a kind. We are all blessed to have known you.
