Jim and I grew up in Friendswood. Enjoyed our fishing, hunting, and just hanging out in town. Swimming in the old creek west of town. Vacation to Wisconsin Dells after graduations. Our first date doubling with Jim and Mel. Good friend not seen in long time but never forgotten. Prayers and thoughts for Mel and the family.
Jim and Mel have been not only my neighbors but my friends for many years. We shared a lot of good times through the years. I for one will miss Jim
