Uncle Jim was always my favorite growing up. He was so funny. I remember when he brought a truck and camper out to the house to show my dad. I asked him why there was a ladder on the back up to the roof and he told me there was a swimming pool up there, LOL. He will be truly missed. But I believe he is up in heaven with his loved ones and watching over his family. God bless you all. Love, Sue and Mark
