Jim Stuart's memory board

Jim is my first cousin his father and my mother were siblings. I remember when Uncle Bill brought the kids to Safford to visit. It was fun to get to spend time with cousins. Dick and Jim, as they were called then, were so hard time to tell apart. But when Jim would talk he always had the kindest voice. He was always sweet to me.

Jackie and I did a lot of traveling for Cabo and I remember our first trip to AZ. Now mind you, this is before GPS systems , no navigation systems, just plain old maps Well poor Jim who knew AZ really well must have gotten 50 phone calls from us to directions to every store. We were on the 101 not realizing it was a circle and we kept going around...more

Hi Jackie, Here we are, almost a year later and still it is difficult to realize that Jim is no longer with us. I remember the wonderful times visiting with each other at your house and mine. The last meal being the wonderful prime rib Jim cooked on his grill. He could grill! Thinking of you as the 1 year mark approaches, sending you warm hugs a...more

So, so sad. We're saying our prayers for them. I won't forget his big smile under that walrus mustache, his passion for diving, and least of all his love for Jackie and his canine kids. - Spence
