My sincere sympathy goes to my Nebraska cousins - I spent so much time with Uncle Jim and Aunt Rita, and Uncle Stick and Aunt Gertie. They were all an important part of my early life, and always treated me with love, kindness, and as though I was part of their family. Jim was a "larger than life" character, and I was happy to be in his home with him and Aunt Rita. This is the end of an era, and I'll miss him.
