Dear Cheryl and family, John and I haven’t touched social bases with you for years, but we never missed a year of visiting our favorite C.P.A. We would spend a lot of time viewing photos and listening to stories about all of you, your travels and accomplishments. Jim was a special man and we will truly miss him.
