Uncle James was my go-to visualization of strong-silent type. Life throws some tough curve balls, but Uncle James met them with steady feet and a firm gaze. I’m sorry to say I’ve been out touch for the last decade. You will be greatly missed. All my deepest condolences and sympathy to Aunt Jeanne. Love you!
