I have fond childhood memories of cousin Jim whether it was my visit to the ranch or family gatherings at our place. Jim definitely had a sense of humor and I remember his playful teasing of his little city cousin. I was so honored when he let me try to drive his Mustang. I did poorly as it was the first time I was introduced to a stick shift but he took it in stride. His loving personality will be missed. We were able to reconnect last year after too many years of separation. My condolences to his immediate and extended family. Jim, you will always be in our hearts and remembrances will bring a smile to our faces.

I have no words to express how much the we're going to miss Jim. His smile, his wink, his teasing, his love of life. Lee and I will miss your visits and having coffee or tea. Rest in peace my cousin and we'll see each other again. In the meantime, give all our loved ones a big hug from us. I'm sure it has been quite the reunion up there.
