    When I heard that Jim had come to the end of his life here I remembered times with him years ago. My best memory is his gift of pages of a Naval journal which he gave to me.He heard me speak of my uncle who died in the South Pacific during WW II. Jim searched his journals and gave me information that I had not known about the USS LouisvilIe, a gift to me and my family and is part of my “Uncle Jack”File.
    Prayers for all of you and for Jim’s joy in the peaceful serenity of eternity
