I’m so sorry for your loss. Jim was one of a kind! I remember him and Sandy as a child(what fun!!) and later dealing with him as a man protecting his property for his children.He was a hard sell(Jimmy can vouch for that! :). He just wanted what was best for his kids! I’m sure you’ll miss him terribly. Love you guys. Chris
