Today, I was going through some old pictures on my phone and there you were. I told my sons about you and how a police station is named after you. I decided to show them this page and I didn't know doing so would hit me so hard. You were tough, you were firm, even though I thought that you were mean you still smiled, laughed and enjoyed life. You dedicated your life to this country and a coward take you away from us way too soon. You were not afraid. I love you and miss you Uncle Jim.
