RIP Jim,
It was an honor to know you as a kid growing up in the 60s and 70s. I spent alot of time hanging around your house with my friend, your son kirk. Sorry for taking some of your brass fittings from your garage and making pipes out of them.

Grandpa, you will be missed, I hope you were treated at the gates of heaven , by all your family. Even though this is hard you are no longer in pain and battling a vicious disease. I was not around you a whole lot, due to living in Florida, but when you came down here to Alabama for a thanksgiving , I enjoyed the time spent. My very first big dinner on my own, and it came out amazing. We will all miss you grandpa, until we see one another again. R.I.H
