Hi Muff and Jim

I was very sad to hear of Jim's passing.

Your father was one of the great characters that myself or anyone gets a chance to meet in their lifetime.
"Wells" was often in my thoughts. I will always remember that time in my life as among the best and have great memories of the whole crew.

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers and I hope to see you this Friday or Saturday.

Hello Muff and Jim

Very sorry to hear of Jim's passing.

Your father was one of the great characters that myself or anyone get a chance to meet in their lifetime.

He was often in my thoughts! My memories of "Well's" are of a great time in all of our lives and of the entire crew that he assembled.

I hope to see you Friday or Saturday and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
