Jim was my sweet Uncle, who loved me like a daughter, especially when my parents had passed.  He always had a song in his heart.  In his last days, while living with Tim and Ros, Tim videotaped several times he would break out in song at the kitchen table- always remembering the words.  Here is a video of those songs:

From his niece Kelly Christenson:
I want to leave a message in honor of my beloved Uncle Jim on his birthday. A favorite memory is from 1985 when he took me to the Huntington Library and Gardens. He was so kind and thoughtful, I miss him very much.  
Love to Aunt Ruby and the family,
Kelly Christenson
