I used to love to watch and listen to Uncle Jim and my dad one up each other by what thier respective kids had done. He was so proud of his children. I loved when he used to break out his accordian on the holidays and sing "My Melody of Love". Memories I will never forget. UNC, I hope to see you in the heavens when my time comes. Until then keep watch over all of us.
Your Nephew,
Mark

It was our good fortune to have known (Uncle) Jimmy as long as we did. From the 16" softball games to Christmas Santa claus, memories that will always make me smile.
Thanks Uncle Jim
