Jim Barclay was the best step-dad ever! Always praising your efforts, always congratuatinlg you when you achieved some goal, small or large. Always upbeat. Great guy to go fishing with - and we did that a lot. Fun to be with , fun to be around. I don't guess he ever met a stranger. He was always a "Hail-fellow-well-met" kind of guy. I'm gonna miss him...
