I will forever miss Jim's bright and cheerful smile and laugh. His great support and words of encouragement gave me strength, interest, and motivation in continuing the fight for the release of Zeke Goldblum. Jim's long-term and sincere interest, caring, and enthusiasm was downright contagious! I am forever grateful for the kindness and inspiration he afforded me. I will sorely miss him and always remember and cherish our friendship and collaboration. My thoughts and prayers to Ginny and the family.

My heart is sad today as well. I agree with my brother Chris, our Uncle Jim could make us laugh. He always seem to say what people were thinking but to afraid to say. I remember a time I was home for a visit and he invited us to his house to watch the Steelers games in his man cave. I'd forgotten how crazy Pitts-burgers get when the Steelers start to lose a game. We would laugh so hard as he screamed at the TV screen like the players could hear him. Or the time he started a food fight with his sisters, my mom and Aunt Judy during one of our Thanksgiving dinners and my grandmother yelled at them like they were teenagers. We laughed as she made them clean up their mess. Or the pizza shop and the unlimited quarters him and Aunt Ginny would give us to play the pin ball machine. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Aunt Ginny. Much love, Kevin and Tracey
