Jim was always known for his humor, his whit, and his famous bacon wrapped hamburgers. He loved his family very much. His love for his grandchildren was always evident by the smile they put on his face. When the chips were down and the seas were rough, he always put his family first. Jim is loved by many, and his memory will live deeply in our minds. His voice and his smile will forever hold a place in our hearts.
