Happy flying, Jimmy

Please take a moment to send my step-brother, Jimmy, a few thoughts of light and love to help him on his way. He is without pain now, but will be missed.

I will remember his lust for life, his can-do attitude, his big heart, and his sincerity ... and his bad (and sometimes good) jokes.

His time here may have been too short, but he packed in quite a bit of living and adventure with parachuting, flying, boating, fishing, and just generally having a good time. He loved his immediate family and my thoughts are with them at the moment.

My main sorrow is that he didn't last until my return next week and that I didn't get to chat with him on the phone or farewell him.
