You’ll be missed so very much, Jim. You & wonderful Wendy are such wonderful people who gave so much from the heart. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of Wendy & the extraordinary family you both built. Rest In Peace. When you were born, the “mold was broken”. Never will anyone ever meet the high standards that you set. With love & aloha to you & your beautiful family. Thank you for leaving the world in a better place by your sheer existence. We’ll forever miss you so very very much.
