Jim was my uncle, and when I think of him I'm happy to say the two qualities that come to mind are humor and intelligence. I have only a handful of clear memories of him but, of all silly things, I remember a t-shirt. I'm guessing I was around 12, and it might have been the holidays or some other visit, but he was wearing a shirt covered in some strange script. I know now, of course, that it was Latin, and I remember him almost giggling as he explained that it read, "If you can read this, you have too much education." I've seen versions of this same shirt over the years, in one language or another, and I think of him every time. So, Uncle Jim, you were a man of humor and intelligence. I hope you rest in peace.
