Oh, Mary. I was so sad to see the obituary in the paper today. Jim was one of a kind! When he was driving for the Volunteer Ambulance he would radio me and say he was taking a break and enjoying pineapple pancakes! He was so fortunate to have you and Kevin right by his side for all these years. I am so disappointed I won’t be able to make the service, as I’ll be out of town. I’ll be thinking of you.
