Our condolences to Jim’s family, Angie, Nikki, and your families. I have many great memories of growing up around your Dad with my brother, Kenny. I remember when I was introduced to your mom, and knew right away that she and Jim were two very special people. I was just thinking recently I hadn’t stopped off to see Jim in awhile; my brother Vic asks about him, and just never made to see Jim. I learned you can’t wait, they may not be there someday and your missed an opportunity to catch up, and visit. I am sorry for your loss.
