Uncle Jim was a very special uncle to me. I will always remember him for the bike rides he would take us kids on during the warm summer evenings in the mid to late 1960’s. These long rides were usually on the back dusty roads between our home on the Fish and Game Road and Natural Dam. I will also remember him for the trips he took me on to open houses held at the Navel Ordinance Lab in Silver Springs, MD, from where he later retired. During these trips he was sure to go out of his way to introduce me to the Electrical Engineers that he worked for and admired.
I will always be grateful to him for taking such an interest in my education after high school. I will always appreciate and remember the mutual pride we shared as he attended my college graduation from the School of Electrical Engineering in March 1983 at Rec Hall on the main campus of Penn State.
I will always remember Uncle Jim as someone who meant well.

We were Sunday morning breakfast partners for a whole lot of years right up until the restaurant was taken over by Dutterer's. So glad we got to have breakfast with him on Friday.
