As children my sister, brothers and I spent a lot of time with our Aunts and Uncles. We loved spending time with Aunt Joyce and Uncle Bill, but I especially liked it when Jim was home. He was a giant to a little girl of my size. He always took time to have a little fun with us when we were around. I do remember one time when he took us tubing down the canal. I'm not sure, but I do believe that we weren't supposed to be doing that. Jim always knew how to have a good time and how to smooth things over with Aunt Joyce. As we grew up and watched Jim's career we were so very proud of him. But even with all of his success Jim was always Jim. He was never too proud to spend time with friends and family. I will always foundly remember Jim as he would tweak my nose and call me Lauralie, his genuine smile and love of life.
