    When I think of Jim I can hear him ask my daughter Mandy , “Are you kiddin?” When my boys, Kenny & Steve Gonzales were growing up with Pat & Mike, he would always ask her that! Such a funny guy! You will surely be missed!

    Jim and I met in April 1977. We coached a Little League baseball team. Our sons played on the team. During the next 40 years we embarked on a series of adventures. Up or down, thin or flush, He was my best friend. Thanks for always being there Jim.

We will see you again….❤
