I miss my brother, Jim, so much. He had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. Our daughter, Julie, died of cancer in 2010 at the age of 39, leaving two little girls ages 8 and 10. When Jim found out that we lost Julie, whom he knew well, he sent money to the girls every Christmas for almost 10 years. He would call me and send flowers on my birthday every year. We would catch up on all the news in our lives and I loved that. Jim was such a special brother and I loved him very much. I will miss him but feel comforted knowing that he is now with Mom, Dad, and our Julie.
I would certainly agree that Jim had a positive, sunny outlook on life – and was pleasant to be around.
Jim sold me his car – which he bought from Craig – which came from the Pontiac dealer near the Naval Academy.
Fair winds, Jim – you were one of the good guys.
