What a man, what a life and what a career.  Though Jim came across with a stern position on what he thought, he was a sensitive, gentle giant once you get to know him. Always engaged with his family, never missing a Christmas, making it very special, thanksgiving, birthdays, anniversaries with a card or encouraging thought.  I am glad he was a part of our lives and will be remembered
