Love You Dad!
Rest in peace Jim. Your smile and wit will be missed. Thanks for believing in me. You gave me confidence and direction when I needed both. I will always be there for your family just like you would have wanted.
Saddened and humbled,
Barry
Jim, I owe you so much. You will be sincerely missed by myself and Karin. Rest in peace, old warrior.
Today I wear a Hawaiian shirt in your honor. I will always remember your generosity, kindness and warm smile….RIP you will be missed.
“do you got a minute?”
I do. I wish I had had many more with you. I will remember the ones I got. Thank you for everything: “the good, the bad and the ugly.” The memories bring me a smile and a tear every time, but mostly they bring gratitude that you were such a big part of my life.
respectfully yours, Z
