I have way too many memories to share, but I do want to tell the family that we love you guys. Uncle Jim will be missed by all. My dad worked every Saturday…and when he could after shopping with Aunt Kathy he would come watch me play baseball even though we knew we would lose. Thank you for all the trips to RANDY’S….and thank you for taking me home everytime I tried to spend the night….and for all the trips in the car and getting the piss scared out of me by slamming youre hand on the seat……..We love you
