Condolences
I am an old friend of the family and want to express my love for Jim. Old Doc McD and Liz were like my second parents in Pensacola, FL. I will always remember our later years and hear Jim's voice in response when I told him I love you. "I love you too Marty". I would love to hear from Sue, Nate or any of the kids. Jim was a diamond in the rough with uptapped potential that I was blessed to have enjoyed. I would love to gaze once again upon his Masterpiece table collage. I have videos of interviews with Jim telling his great stories and had a Turtles Down experience yesterday that I heard about from Jim 50 years ago this year that I have now finally realized. I discovered during this integration experience that I should reach out to Jim's love ones. I miss him but have faith that this was his time. My condolences. Sincerely, Marty 703.677.6680
