    Dear Tracy, Kim, Shawn and Family,
    Shocked and saddened to hear of your Dad’s passing.
    No words can fill the hole in your hearts, but try to take comfort in knowing your Dad’s suffering is no more.
    Jim was a kind, caring, funny man whom I shared many a good giggle with.
    The world has lost a special Dad and a special friend.
