I always kiddingly said Jim was the brother I never wanted, but nothing could have been farther from the truth. He was such an all around good and decent guy. When I meet him again, (and I know I will) he will greet me with one of his zingers, I look forward to it! I was blessed to have known him. With much love to all his family and friends.

Having Jim as my friend and fishing partner was, and always will be, a cherished gift. The empty front seat of my boat will never look right to me. We shared a passion for family and fishing that made our time together completely wonderful...unless one of us happened to outfish the other! Juliana and I will both miss you greatly, Jim...you have found a spot in a little corner of our souls where you will always be.
