Upon learning of the passing of my Brother-in-Law Jim; I looked upwards towards a vibrant blue sky, treed hills and valley, descending into the sunset while I drove towards Keswick. My mind immediately flooded with memories of my best friend and mentor. The most important memory of Jim, was in the form of what he had taught me. When I had first went to Keswick, when I was a young boy, Jim opened the door to exploration...to examine...to discover the people and world around me. Jim afforded me the freedom to grow with an open mind, not to judge, but to accept life, whatever difference or flaw it may have and embrace its very beauty. Jim not only taught, but professed to us all....the importance of being human...the reality of being human. I just want to take this opportunity to profess my love, for a great human...our dear Jim. I will miss him forever...but forever remember.
