Patsy,
It breaks my heart to hear of Jim’s passing. I have both tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. Jim did that to others, always gave folks a reason to smile.
Whenever Jim came to see me at Dr. Phelan’s, I never knew where that appointment would take us. We’d talk about your trips to see the grandkid’s sporting events, 4 wheeling and of course many, many motorcycle rides.
Everyone at the office still laughs about this episode that happened about 30 years ago: I always had posters on my ceiling for patients to look at while in the dental chair. Jim said something to the effect that I always had posters of cute animals and I needed a poster of a good looking girl. Well, he roared with laughter at his next appointment when he laid back and saw a “girlie†poster.
Patsy my aches for you and I will pray memories of Jim will always bring a smile on your face. May God bless and keep you.

My condolences to Pat and the kds and to Don and Marie also.
Jim and I had been friends since high school at Fuller. We joined the Marines together in 1958. We were never stationed at the same place, but I did get to see him once when our ship stopped in Hawaii on the way to Okinawa. We got to have two days to visit there.
Jim had a great sense of humor, always the life of the party. He will be greatly missed.

I always liked being around Jimmy. I was around him several times down at Dons deer camp and also around Dons hardware store. He was such a funny guy and kept me laughing all the time. He was a good guy and will be missed!
