Jim was my grandfather. I had the privilege of spending quite a bit of time with him during both my childhood and adult life. My fondest memories of him are during our fishing trips together....we had the best time and to this day I think about him often when I am reeling one in. I also remember that he always had a kind word and jolly disposition. I will miss him.

Susan, Cathy and Carol, I was so very sorry to hear of Jim's death. I have very fond memories of him when we all "played" together as children. I hope each day will bring you more peace and less pain than the day before!
