A Tribute From Patty:

Jim and I had a good run for 44 years we had our ups and downs. Nothing in life is perfect and no marriage ever is. You just make the most out of the hand you are dealt. Those who knew Jim loved him and we as his family can see why. We also know there were times when we were angry with him and we were able to rise above it. You can’t have love without hate, you can’t have joy without pain, you can have peace no matter what you’re dealing with.
Our love goes out to people Jim shared his life with and I would consider you lucky if he shared it with you. Jim was a quiet man and he was like the Tasmanian Devil. You never knew at times what he was up to but you knew it was something. He was full of surprises, some good and some bad, we just learned to deal and cope. One thing I can say is our life wasn’t ever boring.
Jim was Jim and there won’t be anyone like him!
Love you,
Patty
