My oldest brother Peter expressed everything about Julie and Jim in his tribute that leaves little for me to add.
Jim took me sailing and he was always very kind.
They both are in my heart every day. I think of their family and send them my love.

The enitire family including. Mom and Dad and Kathy and Steve and Alice and Me really liked Jim. He was a good father and he loved Julie very much. I MISSED JULIE VERY MUCH. I have her portrait on the photo wall across my desk and say hi to her every morning. I very personally. regret not spending more time with her as we got older . I remember when i was just 5 years old and my first day at school . I was all alone but I had my big sister keep an eye on me. if any other kid got rough with me, julie took care of IT ! For at least 4 years kathy was just a baby it was just Julie and me . We grew up very fast and left Ansonville . I had to find ways to support myself to go university . During my years in Kingston at Queens , julie was working in Toronto. She would have me come to Toronto to see some rock and roller show She knew that i was poor at college and for the first two years in the mail each month there was $25 from my. sister Julie . My room mate would see the mail and Say " we are going out for a beer tonight on julie". Julie and Jim would come to one or two Queens foothball games and stay week ends with my pals . AND evervyone was excited that Jule would. do the famous Spaghetti treat. And there is much more to keeep loving my sister
