Jim was a contagiously joyous and avid outdoorsman, as well as a passionate and creative guitarist and singer-songwriter. He loved to hear, gather and tell stories and had one ready for every occasion. We remember Jim living deeply and sharing generously in the moments of his earthly life. We loved his hearty spirit and robust voice. Jim had mastered laughter and brought us along with him on the way. We miss him immensely and look forward to one day joining him.
