Jim was a man of great physical and mental strength, working many years in the fitness industry. In our family, Daddy is and always will be a unique and unconventional individual, witty, full of imagination, philosophical and analytical. He taught us that everyone deserved inherent respect. He gave us love in poetry, song, hugs and kisses.
