I always enjoyed going to Jim's house and talking to him about military subjects and the many books he read. He was one of those typical guys that endured the depression and WWII demonstrating the qualities of self-reliance, toughness,common sense, and a softmness when it came to his family, along with a deep pride for his country. Jim was always straight and you never had to read between the lines. He had a unique relationship with Elisa who selflessly cared for him everyday. She will be blessed for allowing him to keep his dignity until the end. I know his daughters Toni and Angel and his son Bart will miss him along with his grand children and great grandchildren. Its always hard to lose the ones you love. However, you can always see a little bit of him and the positive traits he passed on when you look at his grandchildren.
