Jim lived his life fully. He loved baseball and la crosse. He lived always with a smile on his face and in his heart. He was married for a short time until his death in Vietnam. But everyone will always remember him as someone who had fun, enjoyed life, loved his family and loved his country. He was never short of friends or a sense of humor - and sometimes I was at the end of those jokes. The ink that wrote about his death has dried up long ago, but the ink of his life is indelible. His footprint will remain in the earth forever.
