I’ve been reflecting on what Jim has meant to me over the 40 plus years he has played a big part of my life. And I thought about all the useful things he taught me to do. Like how to drive a car (poor man), how to master outdoor grilling which I never got close to his masterful level on the grill and he even taught me how to get my first job. But more than what Jim taught me to do, I learned from him who to be. This was easy by watching him and how he lived his life. By seeing how hard Jim worked throughout his life and even into his 80s, I learned work ethic. By watching Jim’s laid back nature, I learned not to sweat the small stuff. ( I’m still working on that). By hearing Jim’s laughter and how he enjoyed the little things in life, I learned to live fully and be present. Above all else by watching Jim’s welcoming nature, friendly presence and interactions with others, i learned kindness. I hope I can honor you Jim by simply being kind every day Okey dokey Jim. Love you!
