Uncle Jim, I cannot begin to express how much you have always meant to me. You are consistently a man who loves The Lord, faithful, honest, loving, giving, kind, compassionate, hardworking, full of integrity, yet fun and always with a quick wit to being a smile.
I remember so fondly of climbing a tree and flipping when I was small and begrudging the day I realized I was too tall to continue in one of my favorite pastimes. How exhausted we must have all made you begging for one more time! I also recall being very small and you having a beard for hunting season with a plug of tobacco.
I love how you always had terms of endearment for us all and that we are still known to this day by Rooster, Tartlinger, Bears, Benjamin Bunny, and the like.
I always enjoyed the slide shows of old family pix you and Mary would have, and the two of you have always had a home that was welcoming and full of love and fun.
My life has been blessed and I am a better person for having been blessed enough to be your niece. I love you.
