Message: Jim was born about a month before I was. We both moved to California at about the same age. We left most of our family behind in Kentucky so our families grew very close. Christmas of 1960 was spent at his family home:Jim Jr., his brother and sisters, me and my 6 brothers and sisters and my mother, his Aunt Margaret, who was pregnant with Janice. It was a wonderful Christmas. In general I have very fond memories of childhood moments spent with him and his family. I had not seen Jim in over 30 years but I still mourn his loss. My thoughts are with you all who are there mourning him.
